Testimonials from past clients:
With her thorough eye for detail at the sentence level and visionary creativity around the whole project, Liz McKague's editing services exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the way she balanced a new reader's objectivity with genuine dedication to implement my authorial intention. Her feedback was succinct and well-organized. She worked swiftly. Our meetings in person were a pleasure. It's not an overstatement to say that McKague's input became invaluable to the revision process for my project. Her love for literature shines through. Without giving away too much, let it suffice to say that editors of her caliber must be as rare as the books in her personal collection. I won't hesitate to work with her again in the future."
-James Collector author of FIRST TO THE LAST
The BEST in every way!!! Empathic, stimulating, energetic, creative, constructive, inspiring, engaging, productive... I cannot say enough! What a professional! What a mentor! What a teammate!!!"
-James Ptak author of THE READ BOOK, a guide to intra and interpersonal relationships
Liz is an absolute gift, her editing skills are on point and she understands (being an incredibly talented writer herself) how to preserve your voice as an author while keeping the integrity of the piece and making sure its air tight. I truly enjoyed working with Liz, she was efficient, timely and fun to work with. 5 stars!"
- Lexi Ward, author of the novel MODERN DAY GYPSY
I have been writing for over 35 years as a hobby, but when I decided to finally publish, I felt that I needed an editor that really knew their stuff, as I only have a high school education. Further complicating this matter was my low budget and deep poverty. I felt doomed, until I found Liz McKague. Liz was just the editor for me, and she was able to come in under budget while doing about twice the work; she also retained the voice/style of the work, a mean feat in itself. I will definitely use her services again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing anything from copy editing to deep analysis."
