Editorial Services

“

If you are looking to polish your writing to a professional level, Elizabeth’s service is an absolute must. She gives feedback that is expert, insightful, and detailed, and does it in such an encouraging positive way, you will fall in love with your own writing all over again! I felt infinitely more confident sending my material out into the world after applying Elizabeth’s notes. I have worked with many other editors, and she is truly one of the best!

When I sent Elizabeth my first manuscript I didn’t have an agent, but after addressing her notes in depth, I am now a represented author. Elizabeth is a force to be reckoned with. She doesn’t make you feel small for your word choice or question your writing style–which is what some find to be the case with modern editors. Rather, she jumps inside your head, journeys through your work and knows exactly where you can play with setting imagery, character detail, or dialogue to provoke the feelings she instinctively knows you want to convey. Her gift makes me a repeat customer. I’m always confident Elizabeth will use her skills to indicate where more (or less) is needed to strengthen my story. As I finish my second novel, I’m still applying her advice to my work.

Elizabeth’s experience (as both a former teacher and author) is a real asset to her editing process. She is not only knowledgeable, but direct and encouraging. I found her creative marketing mind very helpful in writing my query letter. Highly recommended!

Elizabeth is the kind of mentor and editor who embraces your story as if it were her own. Then, with a kind and objective eye, provides the detailed and precise critique you need to take your story to the next level! In a business that can be serious and exhausting, her sense of humor and enthusiasm for creating fictional worlds really makes Elizabeth stand out.

Finding the right editor is a bit of a Goldilocks process. Elizabeth’s ability to recognize what works in a story and what could be improved upon, her creative problem-solving in tackling a scene or chapter that is close-but-not-quite right, and her finesse in polishing a novel to a query-ready shine makes Elizabeth the perfect fit for a writer searching for someone to take a story from good to great. Her humor, patience, and dedication blend with a keen ability to drill down to word-level problem solving. I have had many good experiences with editors, but she is always my “go to” when I need the deft touch and sharp eye of an expert.

Elizabeth’s sharp insights and encouragement regarding my manuscript outline have been invaluable in helping me move forward. Her kind, generous spirit comes through in how she works. When working with an editor, you hope to find one who is both skilled and who communicates with kindness and grace. Elizabeth is just such an editor. I know the story will be much stronger because of her, and I’m truly grateful for her help.
