“Liz has been a vital source of support and advice for me since I started writing with intent. She has a forensic eye for detail, winnowing away errant punctuation and typos at speed, and is always responsive. Her comments on wording that can be improved are always insightful and respectful and she’s especially adept at curbing my tendency to very long sentences and trailing thoughts. I thoroughly recommend.”
Marianne Holmes, author of All Your Little Lies and A Little Bird Told Me
“Liz is an integral part of my longstanding writing group and has helped me enormously with my two novels. She has read early work, suggested thoughts on plot and character and been invaluable when discussing the intricacies of a story. She’s also excellent at spotting errors, questioning grammar and is a highly accomplished editor/ proof reader. She is straightforward and clear with her thoughts and advice, yet always manages to give feedback with care and consideration. I doubt I would attempt to get any writing of a serious length published without asking her for her input.”
Eleni Kyriacou, author of The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou and She Came to Stay
“Liz is a remarkable proofreader, not just because she can spot a missing comma at 30 paces but because she is an excellent reader who can understand the meaning you are trying to convey and can help you to communicate more effectively. Liz is great at providing options and explaining how each will subtly impact your message without directing you down a particular path. Working with Liz has helped me to know that I am presenting my work at its best and I have always been very grateful to have access to her considerable expertise.”
Kate Wheeler, writer
“I’m very impressed with the way you come up with idiomatic and creative solutions while matching tone of voice and content of the source, as well as with the level of research that has obviously been done.”
