​“Erika's attention to detail is impeccable, her work ethic is powerful, and she is the consummate grammar nerd. I have worked with her on many writing projects and have learned that she is not only a fine editor but is knowledgeable about the publishing world.”

Nihls Andersen,  House of Zolo Publishing
Comic Horror novelette
“Erika’s editing prowess is everything I needed to get my manuscript in tip-top shape for publication. Her thorough and methodical review of helped to ensure all levels of the story’s rollout were under consideration for readers. This included line editing elements, such as word choice, phrasing, as well as clarity and consistency in style, grammar, and punctuation.

Erika is able to easily piggyback off a writer’s tone and make sure her suggestions reflect their style, an important quality in a good editor.

​They say it’s the little things that make the big things happen, and Erika’s attention to detail has guaranteed my work is in its best form for a pleasant reading experience. I look forward to leaning on her expertise any time I need a manuscript reviewed. I highly recommend her.”

Weird Western 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. I can't wait to work with her for my next novel!”

Luke Atkinson, author of Blood Oath (No Man's Land Book 1)
Science fiction (time travel) novel
“This was my first time working with Erika and what she gave me was a hundred percent more than I had expected.

She helped tighten the language in my sci-fi novel and suggested where the removal or relocation of passages would help the story move along.

​She has an incredibly sharp eye for plot inconsistencies, which must have called for great attentiveness to the story details and characters. Erika is now my go-to copyeditor.”

S.D. Unwin, author of Fall of Time
Speculative short story collection
“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.”
