“Amy has worked with me on a number of projects – from checking and editing database records at the British Museum to editing and proof-reading academic publications. She fully engages with the task, is organised, efficient, accurate and fast, works to the plan and keeps to deadlines. A superb communicator, she is a pleasure to work with.”
Helen Wang, the British Museum

“Amy Matthewson has worked for us at Paper Republic both on a paid and a voluntary basis. Paper Republic is a registered charity promoting Chinese literature in translation, and Amy has made a huge contribution, doing social media and editing work. She has been both generous and efficient … we could not have done without her.”
Nicky Harman, Literary Translator
“To edit Asia Collections outside Asia, a volume with thirteen contributions, each from a different author, was never going to be an entirely easy task. However, thanks to Amy’s assistance, the whole process has been much smoother than expected. She is efficient and reliable, completing exactly what is required well within the deadlines. Her corrections are accurate and clear. I also greatly appreciated her insightful comments, which always helped improve the content. Undoubtedly, I look forward to working with her again.”
Iside Carbone, Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland (RAI)
“I do a lot of writing and most of it is of a casual nature. However, when myself or one of my clients have a project that requires perfect English, there is no other editor I trust more than Amy. She is head and shoulders above anyone else in her field and I can enthusiastically endorse her services.”
Eric Haaranen, SEO, PPC and Online Lead Generation

“I have been using Amy’s services for proofreading and editing of my academic papers for several years now. She is reliable, very understanding of sudden deadlines, and often points out details I overlook. My work always improves after her involvement.”
Josepha Richard, Courtauld Institute of Art
“It was a pleasure to work with Amy on a co-edited academic volume. Amy was always reliable, efficient and thoughtful – and she provided detailed copy editing and constructive feedback on the various chapters. Her input really improved our publication. I would recommend her highly.”
Louise Tythacott, Professor of Curating and Museology at SOAS, University of London
“We were three China scholars, desperate to find a copy editor who could handle two large (ca. 500 pages each) international multi-author volumes of essays (English originals and English translations of Chinese originals) honoring a colleague’s enormous contributions to the field of early China.
Finding Amy Matthewson was our great good luck. She was able to edit these two cumbersome manuscripts with expertise, reliability, speed, and good cheer. Her own educational background (PhD in History, SOAS) and her many years of copyediting allowed her to navigate easily the variety of Chinese and Japanese characters and romanized spelling, not to mention European language names and titles of books.”
Susan Blader, Associate Professor Emeritus of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures
