Hi, I’m James Maddox, a Shrewsbury-based editor and writer who thrives on turning complex ideas into clear, engaging prose. Since 2022 I’ve freelanced for MDPI, proofreading and editing more than 1,500 manuscripts and offering actionable feedback to authors for whom English isn’t their first language. I’ve also written hundreds of listicles for Game Rant and Spit Spot Media, delivering high-quality content across TV, film, and pop culture with solid SEO impact. With a decade of creative writing under my belt, I’ve had nine pieces published in magazines and anthologies, including Obverse Books’ Faction Paradox: The Boulevard Vol. 1 (2022). I earned an MFA in Creative Writing with Distinction and a BA in English and Creative Writing (First Class) from Manchester Metropolitan University. I’m fluent in English with basic French skills, and I love helping clients tell their stories with clarity, accessibility, and creativity. My tech toolkit includes Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and project platforms like Asana.…Hi, I’m James Maddox, a Shrewsbury-based editor and writer who thrives on turning complex ideas into clear, engaging prose.
