Copyediting services for indie sci-fi authors

HELPING YOU PUBLISH
|
Hi, I'm Erika!I'm a fiction copyeditor and proofreader with a decade of experience editing books. I started out as a publishing assistant for a traditional publisher, learning the ropes from the inside. I quickly realized how powerful my editing experience could be to indie authors, so I decided to start my own business, E.S. Editing! I'm also Editor-in-Chief of the HOZ Journal of Speculative Literature.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.Do you feel too close to your manuscript?
You know you need an editor but feel overwhelmed by the task of finding the right editor who gets you and who you feel confident can bring your book to the next level (without messing with your voice and vision). I get it. It's hard knowing who to trust.

I can’t wait to work with her for my next novel!
“Working with Erika was so helpful in polishing my novel. I think the edits are marvelous and made the story much sharper and engaging, shoring up my weaknesses. It’s been so nice to see my thoughts translated into something quicker and more crisp. The editorial assessment was so helpful. So many light bulbs went off in my head. The feedback she offered taught me how I can improve my writing, and it’s inspired me to write better already.” Luke Atkinson

For once, my expectations of an editor were fully realized.
“I think it is rare that a writer finds an editor who is perfectly in sync and able to handle the task of turning a rough diamond into a polished gem, yet this is how I felt after working for a month with Erika on my new manuscript. She picks up on those inconsistencies and errors which dog writers and can lead to that unprofessional feel in a new book. Her suggestions are to the point, diplomatically presented, and her feedback is thorough. For once, my expectations of an editor were fully realized.” Eric Colbourne,
author of Chronicles of Fair Island |
