Hello. I am Carol Anne Shaw, an award-winning author of several books for young adults. When I'm not writing, I'm reading. And when I'm not reading, I like to help other writers polish their prose. Do you have a work-in-progress that is making you nuts? A plot that won't twist? Characters that refuse to come to life? Or maybe you're experiencing writer's block and just need a jumpstart. Whatever your challenge, I'd like to help you overcome it. I can help you polish a rough idea and bring structure to your fiction or non-fiction project. Or, I can dive into a sentence-by-sentence editing process that will ensure your book's content stays creative and consistent. My rates are reasonable, and my passion for The Creative Word is huge. Everyone has a story. Don't let yours stagnate on your computer or stay hidden away in your desk drawer. Let's polish it up and get it out there!
