Testimonials

I have been working with Erica for over six years on short stories, and a historical fiction novel. With Erica’s help I won a writing competition and was the finalist for short story of the year. Erica’s positive approach to the editing process has been a key ingredient to the improvement of my writing. Our conversations generate an amazing amount of creativity that has taken my writing well beyond what I could do on my own. She is an indispensable asset that I could not do without.

In helping me develop the brochure for my business, Erica brought a fresh perspective that allowed me to tap deeply into my own creativity. Her approach is professional, supportive, and for me perhaps most important, she brings a sense of fun and play to the task at hand.

Erica has been an invaluable asset in writing and editing my first book. Without her help I am certain that the book would never have been publishable. Every step of the way, Erica has been flexible and accommodating, making certain that our editing process followed the aim and themes that I wanted for the work. Not only is her keen eye and astute literary critiques extraordinarily useful, but she even took the time to leave positive comments on passages she found the most enjoyable. For a first time author, this bit of encouragement was greatly appreciated. For her professional excellence with a personal touch, I really can't recommend Erica highly enough!
