I’m a versatile copy editor working across genres, subjects, and scales to help individuals and organizations make their writing more effective.
About Elizabeth. I’m an editor, researcher, and Ph.D. who loves clear writing. Previously, I taught college writing courses in New York City for eight years, and I am certified in Professional Technical Writing. Experienced across subjects, I love working on projects related to critical race theory, feminism and gender, public education, and the arts.
Why hire an editor? Editors can make multi-authored works cohere; help better convey strong ideas in print; take care of the details for you; and help you reach the audiences you care about. I can help with all these common writing challenges and more.
For projects large or small, I’ll stay true to your style and deliver compassionate edits on deadline, drawing from my fifteen years of experience working with writers across subjects. My clients appreciate my intuition, my expertise, and my prompt service.
