Hello, my name is Elizabeth Arias and I am a freelance editor and book coach! I enjoy a multitude of genres and characters but I specialize in books that include strong female-identifying characters.

 

       The world of literature has always been a safe space for me. Growing up, I was awkward and weird, didn’t make friends very easily, and being in a military family that moved every two to three years didn’t help much. I found my solace inside books. I wrote stories all the time and dreamed of becoming a famous author. It wasn’t until I studied Literature at the University of South Carolina that I discovered my favorite classes were the workshops, because that’s when I helped other writers shape their work creatively into something brilliant. When I read an author’s story that they’ve entrusted to me, I am dedicated and bound to crafting their words, making it even more powerful. My purpose is not to change your art, but to help better position it in a gallery so more people can be swept away by your words. 

These days, you can normally find me with coffee or wine in hand, trying to balance my business with being a full-time mom to my 5 and 2-year-old boys. Disclaimer: there is no balance. In my free moments, I enjoy cooking delicious food and practicing yoga. I absorb all things related to productivity, health,  wellness, business, and powerful women. I also write freelance on these topics as well. If you're interested in working with me in that capacity, please shoot me an email. I am currently booking editing jobs for the spring 2024 season and have room for 2 more coaching clients.
