TESTIMONIALS
(My clients and I sign NDAs.)
"Elizabeth Liang's feedback on the manuscript she reviewed for us was incredibly thoughtful and thorough, exhaustive and invaluable. She left no angle of the book unconsidered, and it absolutely resulted in a better book. She was also timely, professional, and a delight to work with from start to finish. I can't recommend her highly enough!"
- Major publisher’s executive editor of intercultural family drama
"This is beyond what I hoped for a sensitivity read, and I’m super grateful. My book will be that much stronger and more mindful for your help.”
- Author of multi-award-winning international thriller
“It has been a pleasure working with you. Your attention to detail and your keen insight into all the issues embedded in this novel have been absolutely invaluable to me as I worked through this edit. Pound for pound, so many of your suggestions were very simple to engage, and made an enormous impact on the overall story. I like my characters more now, because of you. I am VERY GRATEFUL!!”
- New York Times bestselling author of intercultural family drama
“Elizabeth read my book for general editing, and one of the most valuable components was the sensitivity/cultural/authenticity feedback. We are often not aware of our own biases or terms that are bandied about that aren't appropriate. I'm so grateful to her for improving my book by pointing these out, and for the excellent high level assessment in general.”
