I’m an independent editor with a deep well of experience at magazines like Outside and National Geographic and a passion for wild places, environmental journalism, and adventure.
I offer contract editing, consulting, coaching, and general cheerleading for writers, magazines, book publishers, nonprofits, and corporations on a flat-fee, retainer, or hourly basis.
“Of the dozens of editors I've worked with, Elizabeth was unquestionably my favorite: responsive, humorous, insightful, engaging, passionate, fun. She dived into the editing with brio and came back at me with an infinite number of shrewd, even ingenious ways to improve the story. I look over the many pieces we did together with pride and astonishment at how well they read thanks largely to her guidance.”
—Josh Hammer, foreign correspondent, author, and former Newsweek bureau chief
“I worked with Elizabeth for twenty years at Outside, and she truly understands how to bring out the best in writers, from advice on overall structure and content to excellent line editing. Her stories were consistently the magazine’s strongest and most well-received. If I ever need an editor, I'd want her.”
—Mary Turner, Deputy Editor, Outside
