Nonfiction Editor of Academic, Technical, and Self-Help Content
$55.00/hr
I have edited and typeset 40+ nonfiction manuscripts (over 3 million words!) for a traditional publishing company. I have also edited books, articles, websites, and other content for dozens of Upwork clients with 100% job satisfaction.
I have a strong knowledge of grammar, punctuation, word use, etc., and a keen eye for detail. I especially love to help clients improve the organization and flow of their content so that it is clear, engaging, and easy for readers to digest. I specialize in nonfiction work, especially self-help, memoir, business, Christian, and educational books. (Please note that I do not work with adult material.)
I would love the opportunity to edit the content you've worked so hard to write, making sure it's as close to perfect as possible!

💬 "Liz was a joy to work with. She took the time necessary to thoroughly review my manuscripts and provide thoughtful, detailed, and thematically appropriate suggestions and comments in addition to her edits. Liz was friendly to work with and was engaged in the process of making my writing better. I appreciated her attention to the little details as well as the larger themes and ideas. She is easily one of the best editors that you can work with, not just in terms of skill but in terms of personality and professionalism. She did not nickel and dime me, though her pricing was fair and reasonable. I appreciate working with Liz and I highly recommend her to any client who is serious about producing high-quality content."
