Editing Services for Indie Authors
⁎ science fiction, fantasy, horror, speculative, nonfiction ⁎
I'll help you polish and refine your book so that it's in the best shape possible for your readers.
I'm a copyeditor and proofreader with over a decade of editing experience. I love editing speculative fiction and nonfiction books. In a previous incarnation of my business, I specialized as an academic copyeditor and transcript proofreader for many years. Turns out I'm a multipotentialite, and I love trying new things. 😃
Every editor's journey is different. Mine started in 2011, as an editing intern for a small trad publisher, Breakwater Books, in Newfoundland. After working with the managing editor, I was hired on as a publishing assistant, which gave me invaluable in-house experience in the publishing industry doing a bit of everything: copyediting, proofreading, reading and responding to 'slush' pile submissions, handling permissions, and more. After a year, I decided to go freelance because I knew there were so many amazing indie authors out there I wanted to help. I founded E.S. Editing Services and never looked back.

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 |
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
