"Liz was a pleasure to work with and met all of our copy-editing needs on our 700+ page legal textbook, Child Welfare Law and Practice: Representing Children, Parents, and Agencies in Neglect, Abuse, and Dependency Cases. She demonstrated a detailed eye in correcting and editing grammar, Bluebook citations, and formatting. Liz was communicative throughout the process and kept us inform of her timelines and the decisions she was making. She helped ensure that our final product was consistent and cohesive, and really took our book to the next level. We are so grateful for Liz’s work on this project!"
​

Kristen Pisani-Jacques, Training Director, National Association of Counsel for Children — November 2022

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your professional, calm and knowledgeable approach to our project. You have made a really big difference to the quality of the product. I will hope to work with you again in the future. I loved working with you. My appreciation and gratitude."

​Verbal Identity Director, private family – October 2021

“I have used Liz’s language editing services many times, and was always extremely happy with the result. Given her legal background, she understands legal texts, and she edits them in a professional manner, that often elucidates my original meaning. She is punctual, has never missed a deadline she committed to, and pleasant to work with. I fully recommend her editing services”.

​Omer Kimhi, JSD, Associate Professor, Haifa University (Law Faculty) — July 2021

"Liz has done a fantastic job fact-checking a wide variety of articles for me: from deep dives into complex financial issues to broad healthcare policy articles to home improvement content aimed at a general audience. She's a sharp, responsive fact-checker who quickly understood what we needed and provided exactly that — while also catching issues unrelated to facts."

​Becky Maughan, Senior Quality Editor — December 2020

"Liz, thank you so much for such professional editing work! Your editing work was perfect for my needs as a nonnative speaker who wishes to publish in American law reviews: someone who is familiar with legal writing, who is an expert in American law reviews and Bluebooking, and who is smart, professional, and sensitive enough to understand the meaning of my writing and to edit my work accordingly, all at a reasonable and fair price. It is a pleasure working with you and thanks for all your assistance so far!"

​Tammy Katsabian, PhD, postdoctoral student, Harvard Law School — August 2020

"Liz’s work was simply fantastic. She not only meticulously proofread the piece but also significantly improved its readability and coherence, making extremely constructive editing suggestions—all of which were accepted. Liz did all this on a very tight schedule and was extremely accommodating. I will not hesitate to work with her again."

​Daniel Maggen, LLM, JSD candidate, Yale Law School — March 2020

"Liz is one of our best writers. We always know we can count on her to deliver consistently exceptional work."

​Meghan Kozak, marketing manager, Soundview Executive Book Summaries — September 2019

"Liz has demonstrated the highest level of professionalism in working with others, completing the job, and assisting me with meeting the demands of the publisher. A job well done and would use her again in future work."

​Louis Perry, author and lecturer at the University of California San Diego — September 2019

​"My team has been relying on Liz's services for more than a year now, and we keep coming back for more. Everything that goes across her desk comes back with improved prose, perfect grammar, and thoroughly checked logic, and she's never missed a deadline on dozens of projects together. (In fact, she usually beats them.) I don't know what we'd do without her!"

​Dave Yost, technical writer, Indeed — September 2019

“I wish there were a six-star rating, because Liz is that good. I wrote a general-audience book that is based on thousands of pages of court documents. I needed someone to perform a substantive cite check on some fairly arcane legal issues. Liz exceeded any expectation that I had for that work. Her attention to detail is amazing. Are there six exclamation points rather than seven in the initial source document? Liz will catch that. In addition to ensuring complete accuracy of quotes and citations, she has an amazing ability to suggest ways to improve writing. I cannot recommend her enough!"

​Jeff Kosseff, assistant professor and author of The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet — October 2018

"Liz is fantastic. Her attention to detail is especially noteworthy, and she was a pleasure to work with. I will certainly reach out to her again should the opportunity arise."

​Paula Jo Musegades, assistant professor, Brandeis University  — September 2018

“I think Liz did a great job with my book/manuscript on leading Vision Quests, a subject which, I'm sure, is not something that's a staple of everyone's common knowledge. I liked the fact she was rigorous and precise in her use of language and grammar, and I think that helped balance my tendencies to be more informal and loose. I think her additions improved the book.”

​Sparrow Hart, Circles of Air & Stone — August 2018

“Liz is one of the best freelancers I have worked with--diligent, steady, and reliable throughout a major project. I give my highest recommendation!”

​B.L., faculty member, Yale University — June 2018

“Liz did exactly what was asked and did a perfect job.”

​Dr. Marni Feuerman, LCSW, LMFT — May 2018

“Liz is the best copy editor I've ever worked with. She gave me so much feedback, and all of it was spot on. She fixed the grammar and helped punch up the style. I've hired her for about six jobs now—academic papers—and she's exceeded expectations every time. I will hire her again in the future. Your paper is in good hands with Liz.”

Robert Bray, associate professor, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University — April 2018

“Liz did an excellent job and met our tight deadline. I was impressed not only with the quality of her copy editing, but also with the fact that she provided a style sheet giving reasons for her changes, and answered promptly and courteously any questions I had. She was also an excellent communicator. I will definitely hire her again for any similar projects.”

​Isidra Mencos, writer and ghostwriter — February 2018

“Liz is a rare find. She is extremely knowledgeable with a keen eye for the specific type of proofreading that the often complex world of legalese requires. She has a clearly polished voice for legal research and academic papers. Her expertise with citations is beyond expert level. Additionally, she is the type that goes above and beyond expectations. If you hire her for any project you will not be disappointed.”

​Michelle, paralegal and law student — January 2018

“Liz was prompt, meticulous, and offered great suggestions for improvement. Such professional work! Thank you Liz! Your work is superb!”

​Captain Richard J. Levy, Aviation Expert Consulting, LLC — December 2017

“Liz provided an excellent editing service. She has meticulously proofread my text making important corrections in the structure of my sentences and replacing several words for more appropriate terms. Furthermore, she has finished the work before the deadline. Communication with Liz was very smooth. Certainly, I will look for Liz's services in the future.”

​Helder Do Vale, university professor — December 2017

“Had a wonderful experience working with Liz! Looking forward to the opportunity to work with her again.”

​President & CEO, Kofipad — October 2017

“Liz did a fantastic job for us on a very tight deadline!”

​Tom Franciskovich, publisher, SLO LIFE Magazine — September 2017

​“Liz is an EXTREMELY talented editor. Not only did she catch errors, but she greatly helped to improve my book. Her speed of completion is amazing for how thoroughly she edited my book. I am so grateful that she was my editor. Her depth of knowledge of the English language is amazing. In addition, she helped to explain concepts when I had questions. Five stars is not enough for the quality and level of work she gave me. I will definitely use her again.”

​Steven C. Roberts, author of Finding College Cash: Proven Ideas to Find Scholarships, Grants, and Other Resources to Finish College Debt-Free or Better! — August 2017
