Client ​Testimonials​

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 
author of Blood Oath (No Man's Land Book 1)
She has an incredibly sharp eye 

“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 The Fall of Time

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.”

Her professional help is exactly what I needed
​
“I was very fortunate to have worked with Erika on my first creative writing project. Her prompt and professional help is exactly what I needed to finalize a presentable query for possible publication agents. I look forward to working with her in the near future editing and proofreading my manuscript to ensure that any sample chapters requested are perfected to the best quality.”

She pointed out the smallest details that helped the manuscript flourish 
​
“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.

Eagle eye for detail

“
Erika is an editor with an eagle eye for detail. She caught mistakes I would never have caught myself! Even more impressive, her turn around is swift.”

Stephanie Sodero, PhD
Professor, University of Manchester
I defended my thesis and passed with no revisions needed!
​
“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.”

I am truly indebted to her

“
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

“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.”

I recommend her without hesitation 

“
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. Her understanding of the importance of arranging and synthesizing information succinctly has helped me bring more precision and less redundancy to what I write. I recommend her work without hesitation. She's a treasure.”
