Elizabeth Chadwick – Editor

I'm a development editor, copyeditor, and copywriter with more than ten years experience in a range of areas from technical computing and programming texts to trade science books to children's fiction.

My particular expertise lies in developing specialized manuscripts into accessible books that engage with a wide readership. I've edited several international bestsellers, including Python Crash Course, the bestselling programming title worldwide; Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way, a fun and friendly introduction to an otherwise complex statistics topic and international bestseller; The Rust Programming Language, the offical documentation for the Rust language, developed with Mozilla; and Lauren and the Jargonauts, a children's fiction book that also teaches the basics of computational thinking.

I can help you craft your nonfiction text into an accessible, practical book that teaches the reader exactly what they want to know (and more!). I can also help you hone your fiction and biographies, matching your voice while offering style and accuracy improvements. For anyone who has finished a book and wants it represented to the fullest of its potential, I write dynamic copy that has helped sell hundreds of thousands of copies of books globally, whether it be for your first novel or a how-to manual on coding video games. I have a Creative Writing degree from the University of Anglia.

If you have a finished book and want help getting it picked up by a publishers, I also offer proposal consultation services based on my 10+ years experience evaluating and helping craft publication-worthy proposals.
