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. 

My Editing Services

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

Do you feel too close to your manuscript? 

​
Have you re-read your draft so many times you've lost count and can't see what's missing?
​

​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.

What if you could...

  • Feel confident your book is a professional, high-quality product ready for readers.
  • Work with an editor who feels like a creative collaborator and has your book's interest at heart.
  • Have all the details about your characters, places, and plot all in one place, and easily reference it as you write your series?​

THAT'S WHERE I COME IN!

With my editing services, there's no need to worry about pesky errors and inconsistencies distracting readers and messing with your meticulous world-building. You'll feel confident knowing a professional has double-checked all the details, and you'll have a polished manuscript ready for formatting in just weeks.

You’ve spent so much time revising and self-editing. Let me take care of the mechanics and details so you can get back to what you do best. Writing your next book!

Editing is a crucial step in your publishing journey

You owe it to yourself and to your book to work with a true professional—someone who will fully inhabit your imaginative world, pore over your words, fix inconsistencies across your document, and never tire of hunting down typos. 

Someone who really understands and respects your vision, and who can help you fully express it in your unique voice.

​Someone like me.

I’ll make sure your writing is immersive, consistent, and clear. Plus, you can depend on me to be honest, prompt, and professional.

​
I love being that bridge between writer and reader, polishing the manuscript so all your hard work building a whole fictional universe isn't subverted by errors!


My biggest successes? When no one realizes I’ve been there at all.

​Genres I specialize in:
  • science fiction
  • horror
  • dystopian
  • and other genres under the umbrella of speculative fiction

​Get in touch for a ​free sample edit of up to 1,000 words. You also get a consultation call if that's your thing. As an introvert myself, I know not everyone loves Zoom calls, but I find it super helpful to make sure there's a good fit upfront.
I've helped many independent authors make their publishing dreams a reality, and it's my mission to help bring more cutting-edge indie speculative fiction into the world.

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.”

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.”

You'll finally be able to trust that you have a capable editor on your team who can help you publish high-quality books on repeat.
​

For the first couple years of my freelance editing business I edited academic and nonfiction books. I fine-tuned my craft on training manuals, blog posts, and loads of academic research, but I soon pivoted to fiction editing. I knew right away that I was finally in my happy place, helping indie authors achieve their ambitious publishing goals.

Let's work together!
