Overview
"I had the privilege of working with an absolutely incredible editor! Not only was Liz amazingly responsive, but her constructive feedback and professional approach truly made a difference in my journey as a first-time author. With her guidance, my book transformed into something beyond my wildest dreams. I couldn't have imagined such a remarkable outcome without her support. She really went above and beyond to ensure that my book reached its full potential.
Moving forward, I have no doubt that she will be my go-to editor for all my future projects. I trust her completely with my work and appreciate her input immensely. What's more, our professional relationship has evolved into a genuine friendship, which means the world to me.
If you're a first-time author or anyone seeking an editor who is not only highly skilled but also a pleasure to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She'll take your book to new heights while providing invaluable guidance along the way." -- Dr. Ali Chappell
"I also extend my most sincere thanks to Liz [R.], the professional copyeditor who carefully and systematically polished and standardized my otherwise rough ideas into something that is clean and far more presentable. Liz also added good humor and a positive tone to what otherwise can be a most difficult task for authors." -- Michael A. Steele, Oak Seed Dispersal: A Study in Plant-Animal Interactions
"Our copyeditor, Liz [R.], was simply superb in attention to myriad details of style, consistency, and clarity." -- Melvin L. Warren, Jr., and Brooks M. Burr, Freshwater Fishes of North America: Characidae to Poeciliidae, Volume 2
"Thanks, Liz [R.], for your meticulous efforts in helping a humble author feel like he has produced a good book. Liz, you taught me a lot, and I'm grateful." -- John Eric Goff, The Physics of Krav Maga
"We thank our copyeditor Liz [R.], devotee of the Oxford Comma and cat lover, for her kind, strong editing hand, and her marginal notes of encouragement." -- Daniel C. Abel and R. Dean Grubbs, Shark Biology and Conservation
"Thank you Liz [R]. Your attention to detail helped bring a greater level of clarity and professionalism to the manuscript." -- Luke Cruickshank, I'm With Crazy
I have worked on a wide range of projects, including university, college, and school textbooks; medical and science books and journals; digital products; technical and financial products; and nonfiction and fiction books. Many of these projects involved developmental edits, stylistic and substantive edits, proofreading, multiple authors and reviewers, complicated art programs, and comprehensive design and formatting elements.
I have vast experience with multiple style guides, creating extensive editorial style sheets, and employing editorial/design/composition codes and proofreading mark-up.
Exemplary editing and proofreading skills are my passion.
Asking questions is intrinsic to me.
I am extremely meticulous in my work; my attention to detail is paramount. I am reliable, meeting all my deadlines on target.
My heart sings as I work alongside my authors to bring their voice and vision to each page.
