“I consider it a huge bit of luck finding Elizabeth as a developmental editor. Her work was exactly what I needed. She thoroughly digested the story and gave detailed feedback that was insightful and incisive. When she spots a weakness, she offers suggestions, and when she sees something good, she mentions it. No stones unturned. I recommend her as strongly as possible.” — Frank Edwards
“Elizabeth did developmental edits for my first novel and its sequel. She showed complete mastery of the plots and characters, walking me through plot holes, character inconsistencies, and glitches in the time lines. It seemed nothing escaped her eagle eye. She presented her feedback in detailed, clear notes with suggestions for improvement, was professional and generous, and I always felt she was on my side and had no agenda other than raising the level of my work. Elizabeth was lovely to work with, an exceptional editor.” — Roselyn Teukolsky
