Hi, I’m Liz, and I love editing! To me, the purpose (and thrill!) of editing isn’t just about the “gotcha!” moments you experience when your eagle eye spots an error. Editing means that you are helping tell a story in a clear, compelling way that will make sense to whoever reads it. It means you constantly ask, “Is this the best way to say this?” I’ve worked in editorial roles with B2B companies, tech startups, financial institutions, healthcare systems, and nonprofits. This experience has made me a versatile editor, able to tackle a range of subject material, content types, audiences, and brand identities.
