Beth edited three chapters of my academic book in 2019, and I only wish my timeline with the press had allowed for her to edit the entire book! I hired Beth because my book was going to be sent to tenure review committees before it had been copyedited by the press, and I wanted them to receive the cleanest possible copy. However, Beth’s heavy copyediting turned out to be the developmental editing my book needed. Even though she’s not a specialist in my field (Spanish literature), Beth was able to see gaps in logic and suggest organizational tweaks that made my chapters more coherent and readable. She is thorough in her work, is responsive and makes communication easy, and is a true pleasure to collaborate with. I cannot recommend her highly enough and know that my book is much better because of her!

Beth's keen eye, sharp mind, and editorial acumen were instrumental in completing my manuscript for publication. She addressed structural issues, strengthening and clarifying my arguments while streamlining the book and making it much more concise. Her comments and questions were incisive and incredibly helpful. Beth also tackled my manuscript on the sentence level, maintaining my voice while polishing and sharpening the prose. A bonus: she was a delightful companion through an arduous process. I look forward to working with her on my next project.

Beth Marino edited my story collection, L’Chaim and Lamentations. She is the consummate literary editor. Beth, like all great editors, loves her work. Because Beth is empathetic and has good judgement, she works with a soft touch. Because she is well read, and is a writer herself, Beth is able to detect problems with mood, cadence and rhythm. She understands that each sentence is important, but also understands that more is not necessarily better. When you work with Beth, you will find that she is a delightful person and a team player who works in a collaborative fashion. If you choose Beth as your editor, you will not be disappointed.

Effective communication is the driving force behind my high tech marketing business. Knowing firsthand how much time and effort it takes to deliver good writing, the work fizz editorial produces always exceeds my expectations. Beth’s depth of thinking and ability to embrace high-tech concepts and terminology to produce writing that is informative, flows well, and grabs the reader’s attention always amazes me. Most importantly, Beth’s superior copyediting insight and skills highlight the best of my own work—it’s a satisfying and productive collaboration that ensures every piece I produce for my clients is compelling and polished. I highly recommend fizz editorial for your next writing or editing project!

Beth worked with me on the publication of my novel, The Theoretics of Love, from the get-go. She was there whenever I needed her, and her editorial advice on the novel was spot on. We have kept in touch since the novel’s publication, and this shows her commitment. I highly recommend Ms. Marino.

Working with Beth was an absolute pleasure. She is an amazing writer, editor, and thinker. She was able to work effectively in short time crunches, pushing out work of amazing quality. The book we worked on together would definitely not be where it is without her. I highly recommend her for anything regarding the written word and will be the first person I turn to for my own projects or recommend to others for theirs.
