I am an experienced copy editor, proofreader, and archival researcher; and am beginning to do indexing work.
I would be keen to work with you on a freelance basis in any of these areas. If you're interested in working with me on a manucript, index, research project, or something else, please get in touch by email at carlisle.e.yingst@gmail.com.
(NB: For archival or special collections research, I am based in the UK, so would largely be available for on-site research in the UK only).
Some of my experience and past projects include:
- Working as an Editorial Intern (2014-15) and Assistant (2015-16) for Indiana University Press, where I supported the editorial and production team by proofreading, copy editing, and reviewing indexes for manuscripts across subject areas
- Copyediting and proofreading books and articles in my specialist areas (18th and 19th century literary studies), including proofing the Norton Anthology of English Literature (vol. D), 11th ed.
- Providing archival and special collections research support, including photographing materials, completing bibliographical investigations of the construction of printed books, and locating and faciliting access to special collections materials, and
- Providing copyediting and research assitance on a freelance basis for textbook research documentation
I also have experience
- Designing professional websites for academics (I designed and built this site and deidrelynch.org in HTML/CSS using Jekyll and Github Pages)
- Supporting innovative undergraduate teaching with digital and analogue tools (see one notable project I worked on here) and
- Using digital tools and methods for humanities research (including data visualization, Excel or database management, and more)
