“Shannon is one of my go-to proofreaders. She’s responsive, takes direction well, is professional, and turns projects around as quickly as I could possibly ask. I’d recommend her to anyone without reservation.”
Yanni Kuznia, Director of Production,

Mark Teppo, Publisher,
Underland Press
“Good copyeditor… well done indeed!”
Michael J. Martinez
author of The Daedalus Incident
“Shannon is dedicated to helping authors craft the best possible work. She is easy to work with, professional, and appreciates deadlines. The anthology Witches, Stitches & Bitches has been compared to O. Henry. We could have not been more pleased with her performance.”
Katie Cord, President,
Evil Girlfriend Media
“Shannon Page is my book’s angel! She has an eagle eye. 🙂 Thanks to her hard work, readers can just focus on the story rather than distracting typos or errors. Thank you Shannon.”
Gigi Garrett author
“…very perceptive and improving questions. Thanks for the close attention to the text!”
Tim Powers author
“Shannon’s proofreading for Centipede Press is accurate, with a fine attention to detail, usage, and other matters. She also highlights possible formatting concerns. Her turnaround time is excellent considering the amount of time and care she puts into the proofing. Her rates are very reasonable.”
Jerad Walters, Publisher,
Centipede Press
“I’ve worked with multiple copy editors, and Shannon is by far one of the most thorough editors I’ve worked with. I can’t imagine using anyone else.”
