Here's what you need to know:

I'm Elizabeth Stack, The Indie Bookmother. I began my romance journey in high school (thanks, Mom's bookshelf). Cut my editing teeth on everything from sweet small-town to Scottish larids, to  why-choose dark romance. Fast forward, I spent 15 years in marketing before realizing I’d rather edit romance than sell industrial equipment. 

My detail obsession makes me good at this. The same brain that notices your hero's eyes changed color between chapters is the brain that catches pacing issues before they tank your third act.

I don't do fluff. I don't sugarcoat. If your blurb isn't working, I'll tell you—and then I'll help you fix it.

You're amazing at what you do!

I'm dedicated to the movement.

I help indie romance authors make editing and marketing simple so they can focus on the writing they love.

That means developmental edits that strengthen your story without killing your voice. Line edits that tighten your prose. Marketing guidance that doesn’t feel like shouting into the void.

No sales pitches. No gimmicks. Just groundwork.

Elizabeth Stack: Founder, Editor, Book Lovah

Okay, so, I'm a strong editor, but let's move past that since it's not unique or my key value proposition. You're ultimately going to choose an editor based on price, an offer nobody else has, or personality. The first two have the entire "Services" page to themselves. As for personality, here's my "swipe-rightable" vibe: First thing to know, I cut my teeth on historical romance (thanks Mom). Second thing to know, my biggest social weakness is my biggest career talent: calling out detail (It's 10:37a.m. not 10:30a.m., Kevin). Besides the Kevins of the world, I am thorough yet gentle and fun. Put those two things together and you have my dream job, editing. Plus, I been in marketing since 2009. I'm basically like a Swiss Army knife at your disposal. Holla' if you wanna work together, I'd love nothing more.
