Let me join you on your writing journey.

At Swift Edits, your writing is taken seriously. Whether you’re a first-time author or seasoned professional, you’ve worked hard and deserve the focused attention and keen eye of an expert.

Swift Edits offers a range of services, including developmental edits (big-picture suggestions for novels and nonfiction); copyedits, with heavier “line” edits (grammar and punctuation plus tweaks to make the language sound great); and proofreading (final check for errors).

Some of my favorite genres include: memoir and autobiography; business and self-help; creative nonfiction and essays; academic articles and books; religious studies; and of course, fiction—from women’s fiction to mysteries to literary novels. I love hearing new voices tell their stories, and my clients have enjoyed working with me, too. I’d be honored to add you to my list of satisfied writers.


With my expertise, clients have

  • Signed book deals with major publishers

  • Self-published memoir, fiction, how-to, business, and leadership books

  • Won awards and joined New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestseller lists

“Elizabeth is a delight to work with. I’m confident her contributions made my book stronger and my details more precise. I appreciate how quickly she works, and how thoroughly she communicates. And she’s fun!”

—Jeremy Gutsche, New York Times best-selling author of Create the Future: Tactics for Disruptive Thinking (with foreword by Malcolm Gladwell)

“This was my first book, and I was anxious about handing over my manuscript to an editor who knew nothing about me or my organization. Elizabeth immediately ‘got me,’ and as we worked together, I saw her incredible talents work to make my book whole. I needed help weaving my messages through my chapters, and with Elizabeth’s suggestions, we found the perfect formula and she made my story shine!”

—Genevieve Piturro, Author of Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas (2020)
