It has been a pleasure working with Carrie Hamilton. She is an extremely insightful, generous, fun and accurate editor. I especially appreciated our in-depth discussions about both the language and the content of my book. Her scholarly background gives her both the understanding and the compassion required to offer all-round support and expertise for academic writing. I warmly recommend Carrie Hamilton to any writer, and especially to scholars working on journal articles or monographs.
