I feel confident that the book is as strong as it can possibly be

​“Erika’s got the golden touch! She took such good care of my romantasy debut. She’s incredibly thorough, and it’s clear that she scoured every line for errors and readability. In addition to the typical mistakes and grammatical errors (commas are my nemesis), she points out repeated words, awkward phrases, and continuity issues. She communicates with the utmost professionalism—and a healthy dose of much-needed encouragement mixed in. The style sheet she provides is an extra touch of magic. After working with her, I feel confident that the book is as strong as it can possibly be.”

Amelia MacLeod,  author of Winter's Fate
I’m thankful that I worked with her

​“Erika came highly recommended and I am thankful that I worked with her. Erika guided me through the proofreading process, answered all of my questions and concerns, and delivered a bulletproof manuscript.

Working with Erika was a breeze and I’m thrilled with the final results. I’m sending off my novel that she proofread out to the world without a concern. Erika is going to be the proofreader that I turn to for all of my work going forward.”

Luis Paredes,  author of the novel Headhunters
I genuinely value her approach

I genuinely valued her approach and how she enhanced the overall caliber of my writing. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any writer seeking a proficient and dedicated editor.”

You don't merely make my job easier, you take the manuscript to a level I could never take it to on my own. 

​“I was gushing to my husband about you last night for a WHILE. Longer than he cared to listen to me, I’m sure. I’m so grateful for all the details and nuance you catch when you’re going through the pages. You don’t merely make my job easier, you take the manuscript to a level I could never take it to on my own. I’ve worked with quite a few editors at this point, and you’re simply a top-notch professional. Talk about a fine-tooth comb. I plan to keep sending you books as long as you’ll have me. Thank you SO much for all your hard work. And for being willing to follow me into the romantasy genre, because without you I’d be so lost!”

Amelia MacLeod,  author of the Poisoned Kingdoms romantasy series

​Her work was always conscientious and meticulous

“While working as a publishing assistant, Erika gained experience in substantive editing, copyediting, and proofreading; her work was always conscientious and meticulous. She’s flexible in her approach in that she understands that different types of writing require different types of editing. She also possesses the assets of being both tactful and skilled when she works directly with authors.

Erika is a pleasure to work with. She’s interested in the intricacies and complexities of editing and is also a very quick learner. She listens well to instructions from a managing editor and author, but she’s also creative and intuitive in making her own suggestions for improving a manuscript.”

Her track changes burn up the pages 
​
“When I wrote the first edition of Doyle's Almanac of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2015, I didn't think I needed an editor as I thought it could go directly to the printer. My wife suggested I contact Erika. This was the best decision I could have ever made.

It still amazes me 10 years later how Erika can take my writing and polish it into such a professional finished document. Her track changes burn up the pages. Erika keeps me on task with suggestions and advice for updating my content. Writing is hard work; however, Erika is there for me.

Erika has just completed her magic on the 10th Anniversary edition, and I couldn't be happier with her work.”

Robert Doyle
Managing Editor, Doyle's Almanac of NL

I could relax knowing I could rest in her expertise
​
“Erika, thank you so much for all you did to bring this project to life. It was a huge project and it felt daunting at times ... but I could relax knowing I could rest in your expertise. You are an excellent editor and I appreciate how detailed and thorough you were, not just with the technicalities but also with nuance and the language as a whole. 

It's rare to find someone who can see both the tiny details and be able to hold the big picture as well—and you are that person! Thank you so much. I’ll use you every time if you’re available--you are now my go-to person!”
