"These projects felt intimidating until you helped me break them down.” 

"Your presence, confidence, and knowledge make me feel like we've been old friends even though we've only just met."

"Dr. Ruegg’s mentorship and tutoring has been invaluable to me in my doctoral program. I struggle with organization (hello, adult-diagnosed ADHD!) especially when it comes to complex projects that can’t be crammed over an intensive weekend. She listened to my stream of consciousness, asked thoughtful questions to narrow down my focus, and suggested ways to either make my ideas fit or pointed out where they might take my paper into a different direction. Her structure and templates saved my sanity."

"Working with Dr. E changed everything. I had been stuck on my lit review for weeks, and every time I sat down to write, I felt like I was drowning in sources. In just one session, she helped me see how to organize my ideas and what to cut. I walked away not just with a clearer plan but with hope. For the first time, I actually believed I could finish this degree."

"Dr. Ruegg listened to my tangled thoughts and helped me shape them into something that made sense. I often know what I want to say, but I struggle with structure. She didn’t just clean up my writing, she helped me understand it. Her questions helped me figure out what mattered most, and for the first time in this program, I felt like my ideas were worth something."

"Thank you so much for your support throughout this semester. I can't say thank you enough. From the editing, to the mock rehearsals, and the PowerPoint pointers, you helped me reach my full potential."

"You made me feel seen and capable.” 

"Our sessions were a lifeline."

"Your presence gave me courage."

"You reminded me I didn’t have to do it all by myself."

"You held space when I couldn't hold it on my own."

"Dr. E, I acknowledged you in the acknowledgments section of my final capstone paper. I sincerely thank you for always being honest with me. I appreciate your belief in my work, and I am forever grateful for our tutoring sessions that turned into motivational sessions."

"I wanted to say a big thank you for all of your guidance and emotional support this term. YOU have made a difference, and I appreciate it! I hope the following weeks are kind to you and that you get some rest and restoration as you approach the busy upcoming term. I will see you in your next webinar and look forward to connecting again and working with you for the Fall term!"

"Dr. Ruegg has made my process (and my life!) not only significantly easier but also so much more enjoyable. My work with her has unsnarled something in my brain that I’ve always experienced the effects of but never had words or strategies for. I hope to rely on her for the rest of my school program and intend to use the concepts I’ve learned (such as external processing, organization, and expert consultation) for the rest of my life."

"Dr. E is kind and thorough when providing feedback. As a sensitive person, I felt she was very considerate and walked me through what to expect. I wish I had worked with her sooner. I highly recommend her!"

"My experience with Elizabeth has been an amazing process. I have never hired an editor before and really didn’t know what to expect. This has far exceeded my expectations of professionalism, ease, excellent communication, great feedback, and amazing support. I highly recommend Elizabeth as an editor for any project."

"You gave me the structure I needed to finish.” 

"Everything snapped into place after our session."

"You turned my tangle of ideas into a plan."

"I truly appreciate the thorough and detailed edits you provided. While I was initially disappointed in myself to see so many corrections, I’m genuinely grateful for the time and care you took in reviewing each sentence, especially given the weight of this assignment. I also want to thank you for providing the markup in both PDF and Word formats, which made the side-by-side review much easier and more efficient. Your editing skills are exceptional, and I have absolutely no regrets about investing in your services."

"Elizabeth’s collaborative editing and coaching relationship was effective, constructive, and enjoyable. The collaborative coaching relationship ensured my oral presentation was informative, well-paced, and well-prepared. The feedback I received improved my writing process, writing, and preparation for completing the written assignments. Particularly helpful was the reference audit in which Elizabeth identified citations without references or references without citations, then ensured that all references and citations were APA-compliant."

"Elizabeth was a dedicated editor. I really felt she was invested in my success. Elizabeth paid attention to the details that, even on a second and third check, I missed—from citations to formatting errors. She ensured that the APA format was accurate, assisted with finding missing references, and provided support in organizing the paper/dissertation. I highly recommend Elizabeth!"

"Dr. E is thoughtful and accurate in her feedback. She gives your paper the level that it needs. I struggle with logical flow, and she is great at helping with that. I have had the pleasure of working with her over two terms, and she is worth every penny and more! I highly recommend her to anyone who is not a brilliant writer and likes to have valuable input to increase their level of writing to where it should be. Thank you, Dr. E—amazing work yet again!"

"Throughout my program, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth for editing services, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with her expertise and professionalism. Her attention to detail and meticulous approach to editing truly made a significant difference in the overall quality of my writing. What sets Elizabeth apart is her ability to maintain my voice while refining the text. She understood the tone and style I was aiming for and skillfully preserved it throughout the editing process. Her keen eye for APA, consistency, and coherence ensured that my message was effectively conveyed to the readers.  

"Quick, clear, and kind, every time.” 

"Her turnaround time saved me."

"You responded when no one else did."

"Dr. E was an absolute pleasure to work with—responsive, flexible, and incredibly efficient. Her thoughtful feedback and quick turnaround made a huge difference in helping me strengthen my writing under tight deadlines. I couldn’t recommend her editorial support more highly."

"Dr. Ruegg’s attention to detail was unmatched in proofreading the article I authored in preparation for submission. Though I had edited the article several times, her suggestions really supported the clarity and strength of my message. I am so grateful to her for her support in this process!"

"Elizabeth not only provided exceptional editing skills but also went above and beyond to ensure that my work was polished to perfection. Furthermore, Elizabeth demonstrated a high level of professionalism and respect for deadlines. She delivered the edited work in a timely manner, allowing me to meet my deadlines without any stress or delays."

"Elizabeth is more than an editor and coach. She provided unwavering guidance, support, and encouragement that propelled me through arduous courses. A digital writing tool proved insufficient. Elizabeth expertly and eloquently provided constructive feedback that enhanced my grammar and punctuation and ensured my citations and references were APA-compliant. She was personable, responsive, and passionate about guiding others through their academic journey."

"Elizabeth was prompt in her communication and showed genuine interest in understanding my editing needs. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend her editing services to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated editor. I am grateful for her contributions to my work and look forward to collaborating with her again in the future." 

"“My work with Dr. E changed how I think." 

"I understand myself as a scholar now.”

“She didn’t just edit—I grew.” 

"Dr. Ruegg has made my process (and my life!) not only significantly easier but also so much more enjoyable. My work with her has unsnarled something in my brain that I’ve always experienced the effects of but never had words or strategies for. I intend to use the concepts I’ve learned (such as external processing, organization, and expert consultation) for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Dr. Ruegg helped me develop a writing rhythm and internal structure that I will carry into my post-doc work. Her support wasn't just about this one paper—it helped me find how I think best."

"The best part of working with Dr. Ruegg is that this is the collaborative coach and editing relationship that I needed. Her compassionate and thoughtful approach, as well as her teaching style, created a truly safe space for my intellectual growth and development as a social work educator and leader. I am so thankful that I was able to find Dr. Ruegg, and I feel honored to write a recommendation on her behalf."

"She made me believe I had something to say. That’s a gift I’ll carry with me well beyond this degree."

"Elizabeth was prompt in her communication and showed genuine interest in understanding my editing needs. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend her editing services to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated editor. I am grateful for her contributions to my work and look forward to collaborating with her again in the future." 

"Dr. E, I acknowledged you in my final capstone project. Your honesty, encouragement, and belief in my work helped me push through when I was ready to quit. I didn’t just grow as a writer, I grew as a person."
