My name is
Shi Crumpacker.
I’m a freelance editor, specializing in fiction novels.
And I’m here to help you refine and enrich your manuscript before publication.
My passion for books
began at a young age…
Not only could you usually find me with my nose in a book, but I’d also often spend my time scribbling down words in a random notebook or clacking away on my mother’s computer, simply enjoying the sound of the keyboard.
It only made sense to expand my love into a fulfilling career.
I graduated in May of 2021, gaining my Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in creative writing.
During my time in classes at university,
I discovered that I absolutely adore editing.
Engaging in beta-reading during my spare time further solidified my
longing to pursue a career as an editor.
Learning never ends.
I continue to expand my knowledge in this ever-growing and ever-changing field. I strive to excel at the craft of editing. My most recent certification is an Editing Certificate from The University of Chicago.
Why choose me
Efficiency
I understand that pausing your writing to await edits can seem like an impossible task. Rest assured, I guarantee prompt delivery of your manuscript according to the agreed schedule, so you never have to be waiting on pins and needles.
Optimism
There’s nothing we can’t fix together! Edits on your work shouldn’t be hurtful. I take pride in offering sincere and supportive feedback, always maintaining a positive and compassionate approach. I won’t just comment on areas that need improvement, but also on aspects that deserve praise and celebration.
Precision
My keen eye and focused mind will assist you in identifying any errors or inaccuracies in your text. I will meticulously edit each word, sentence, and paragraph to guarantee that your story unfolds precisely as you envision.
I trust you!
I trust your vision and imagination.
My goal is not to impose on your manuscript but rather to supplement
and enhance it while preserving your unique narrative voice.
I will fully place myself in the world of your story,
allowing me to naturally edit and keep creativity intact.
