DISCOUNT EDITING

A good editor knows what they’re worth, and I’m a good editor. However, I do not possess, and have no expectation, of building the large client base or name recognition within the industry that would support a full-price menu. But that’s good news for you! It means I’m a fully qualified and passionate editor with limited availability at lower prices!

Manuscript Editing

You know what you’re trying to say. Let me help you say it. Whether it’s smoothing out the lines or polishing off the grammar, whether you’re going to self-publish or plan to query, there comes a time in every process when someone else needs to take a look.​ The right editor becomes a partner, clarifying your voice, highlighting your style. I will work with you to polish those facets that make your work unique, offering no more and no less than you request.

Elizabeth Snow

I’m a non-binary spouse and parent managing chronic pain and fatigue in a household full of ADHD, and I’m grateful for every minute. When I’m not writing or struggling with chores, I’m pretending to garden in our wildflower covered yard.

I have a Master’s Degree in Literacy with several credits in advanced English grammar and linguistics, and my undergraduate degree is in cross-cultural studies. I firmly believe in the value of each perspective and unique voice as well as clarity of expression.

I feel a renewed sense of pride and confidence in “Progenitor’s Burden.” Elizabeth’s contributions have undoubtedly elevated the manuscript, making it more accessible and enjoyable for the intended audience. Will definitely continue working with her on the next installment and other projects.

Lion’s Tooth Editing did the copy edits on the new press anthology “Fathoms in the Earth”. Their contract was concise, they sent the edits in ahead of the deadline, and the markups were clear and easy to follow.
