A true professional and breath of fresh air

“Erika was such a pleasure to work with, a true professional and a breath of fresh air. She proofread and edited my Masters thesis which improved the overall flow, appearance, and quality of my submission. Her comments are extremely useful with clear explanations and substantiation. She got my paper back to me well before the agreed deadline and went above and beyond what we had initially agreed upon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly skilled, professional editor!”

“I worked with Erika in her capacity as a transcriptionist and editor, and her contributions to my work have been invaluable. Her commitment to quality was obvious and her attention to detail blew my mind. Her editorial work on my PhD dissertation was most astute. She made thoughtful recommendations regarding word use and sentence structure, and provided comprehensive explanations for decisions she made or the suggestions she presented. Her capacity to understand and bring clarity to my work while retaining my intended meaning was remarkable. I even defended my thesis and passed with no revisions needed!

She was also a pleasure to work with, a true professional. She made decisions and asked questions as needed and in a timely manner, and was completely consistent. Working with her, sharing both audio files and various text file formats and editing schemes, was made easy. I will definitely hire Erika again and will continue to recommend her to my fellow writers, researchers, and academics.”

She pointed out the smallest details that helped the manuscript flourish and attract attention
​
“I had the pleasure of working with Erika when my short story was selected as part of their debut journal of speculative literature. We developed a beautiful virtual writer-editor relationship and she was the last word in professionalism and elocution.

Erika has an expansive mastery over the Chicago Style editing and pointed out the smallest details that helped the manuscript flourish and attract attention. On top of that, she never ceased to listen to what I had to say as the writer in defense of my writing style and ideology.

My short story has definitely benefited from her magical touch, and to my downright delight has become one of the highlights of the publication all thanks to Erika’s intelligence and dedication.”

“Erika does an impeccable job transcribing audio interviews. Because of her command of grammar, punctuation, direct quotes and sentence structure, she captures the nuances of both the interview subject’s narrative as well as the voices of the subjects within their narrative. She takes on the tedious task of transcribing in a professional and punctual manner. She has made my PhD research much more manageable, bringing the interviews to life in print.”

“A few years ago I undertook to write a history of the coinage of Newfoundland. While I knew something about the coins themselves, I was neither a trained historian nor was I used to writing in the genre of an extensive thesis. My scientific background had trained me to write short, precise papers for a community of experts on the subject. I think by now I have overcome these deficiencies (the book is about to be published), but Erika was the person that helped me most with the early drafts of the book. She made numerous editing changes and always provided sound professional advice on every aspect of the book. She was the rock that I leaned on in my early work on the book and for this I am truly indebted to her.”

“I couldn’t do what I do without Erika. Her transcription is key to the success of my books and articles. Erika is accurate, prompt, reliable, accessible, discreet, and committed. She has done transcription for me from audio recorded in multiple languages and varying qualities. She is a pleasure to work with.”

Antonia Juhasz
Investigative journalist, oil and energy policy expert

“I’ve had the opportunity to see the quality of Erika’s work via blog posts, website content, and media releases that she has copyedited for different not-for-profit groups. Her attention to good grammar, punctuation, style, and suitability of format is meticulous. On a personal note, Erika’s understanding of the importance of arranging and synthesizing information succinctly has helped me to bring more precision and less redundancy to what I write. I recommend her work without hesitation. She's a treasure.”
