Benefits of hiring an editor

Consistency​

​I pay attention to the details so that your content is as refined and professional as possible.
​

Clarity​

​I make sure your writing speaks to everyone—in  plain language that's easy to understand.

Correctness​

​A fresh pair of eyes will help catch typos and consistency errors that you can't see.
Robert Doyle, Doyle’s Almanac of NL

“Erika has been instrumental in helping me to prepare  Doyle’s Almanac of Newfoundland and Labrador for the last four editions (2016-2019). Her expertise in editing and formatting, as well as her professional advice, was critical in making the annual almanac a publication that I was proud to present to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Erika is a pleasure to work with, a real pro!”
