I’m Liz Gloor, a freelance editor based in the Pacific Northwest. For the past ten years I’ve called Seattle, WA, my home. Prior to that, I lived in New York, where I first began working for an award-winning educational publishing company fifteen years ago. I spent the first five years of my tenure in-house, and I was lucky to retain the position when my husband and I relocated to Seattle. I hold a certificate in editing from the University of Washington, and I’m a member of the Northwest Editors Guild.

As a former Production Editor, I have a comprehensive understanding of every stage of the publishing process, from manuscript to final copy, and I’d like to share that knowledge with you! Whether you’re a first-time writer interested in self-publishing your debut novel or a seasoned veteran hoping to secure representation, I’ll help you polish your work into its final form. 

I specialize in book publishing, both digital and print, and in online publications. I’ve also edited short fiction and academic papers. The tidiness, order, and precision of academic writing appeal to me, so please reach out if you’d like to have someone dig deep into your citations!

In editing, I prize clarity and cohesion, but in an increasingly automated world, I believe it’s important to maintain a human authorial voice. My goal is to make sure your narrative holds together and your sentences flow cleanly, without sacrificing the artful choices and style that make your work your own.

I love to talk about all things writing, editing, and books. If you’d like more information on the services I provide, or if you’d simply like to ask me a question, please send me a message via the contact form below, and I will be in touch directly!
