I’ve been working with Erin for two years now and I am just delighted, yes delighted, with the quick responsiveness of her service and high-quality editing skills. Erin’s abilities are a value add to our research!—Kathy Hunter, Director, Knowledge Management, ITSMA
Erin brings the same traits that make her an elite writing professional—doing her homework, digging into the details, and being flexible and responsive—to her approach in running her company at a strategic level. She’s able to make the right decisions because she understands the mechanics of their business at an elemental level, something all business owners should strive to do.—Jesse Jones, Founding Lawyer, Fourscore Business Law
As a first-time author and independent publisher, I needed to find an editor who was not only highly skilled but also enjoyable to work with. Erin accomplished both beautifully! Her advice and recommendations were invaluable to the finished product, always keeping in mind my individual writing style and manner. As the book progressed I knew that my work was in good hands and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I encourage you to send in your sample chapter for her review and witness firsthand what a great editor she is.—Sharon Helbert, President, Alegcris Press
I attended a recent seminar [Erin] copresented (with Jake Poinier) at the Society for Editing's national conference in Providence, RI, in March 2019. Erin spoke about using data and feedback loops to make wise decisions about pricing in one's editorial business. The talk was well organized and full of practical strategies that would apply in other businesses as well. I love listening to Erin. She delivers with such a calm, professional voice that helps us listeners concentrate on the content.—Patricia Boyd, Independent Business Owner, Steel Pencil Editorial
Erin spoke to the Boston chapter of the Editorial Freelancers Association about expanding your freelance business. Her presentation was very professional and clear. She strongly encourages audience participation and has plenty of helpful information. Erin is a business owner with tons of editing experience. She encourages freelancers to step out, develop skills, and expand their business. Her approach is very warm and friendly.—Susan Matheson, Independent Science Writer and Academic Editor
