Shannon is one of the finest copyeditors we have seen. Multiple authors have commented on the astuteness and cleanness of her copyediting. Her refined sense of poetics has also proved invaluable
to the press.

Shannon, I was going to say that words could not express my gratitude for your work and support on this, but then it struck me that "words" are what it has all been about. Your feedback, suggestions and recommendations, and professionalism have made this both a learning experience for me, as well as an enjoyable process.I know that my novel is better because of your expertise and dedication.
I am also appreciative of your candid feedback on the story itself, and am flattered that you found it interesting (and sometimes funny). Thank you so much!

Shannon Carson worked with me as an editor and writing coach on my coming of age novel, “Alberta and the Spark.” The process was collaborative, instructive, and encouraging. She could dive into the weeds when needed but never lost sight of the objective. She has a great command of the technical as well as an excellent ear for consistency and flow.
Shannon was responsive and available for consult so that we could inform one another along the way. Her responsiveness gave me nudges to keep moving to the end of this 300-page novel. It was a joy to work with her and I looked forward to our meetings as I knew she would help me do my best work.
I feel fortunate to have worked with Shannon and have complete trust in her ability and would hope to have her available to edit future projects.

Shannon Carson is a true writer’s editor. She works hard to serve the project and she gets it. Carson brings both a sharp eye for narrative intent with a finely tuned ear for the rhythms and musicality of language. In editing with great detail and vigor, Shannon helps make a manuscript stronger while empowering the author to realize the work’s best vision.

Shannon asked me questions that made me think about why I shared a section or specific story in my writing. Her process of reading the manuscript several times helped me dig deeper into my writing as I made the edits she suggested. As she entered into my head reading the personal stories I wrote she was always respectful of the emotions and feelings I was experiencing. I would recommend Shannon as a copyeditor and hope to use her services again in the future.
