Lighten your load. Meet your goals.

Handwritten text that says "Care for your authors."

There aren’t enough hours in the day for all the manuscripts that need reading and all the authors that need guiding. Give yourself some breathing room by turning to a skilled content editor and writer with a sharp mind, a workhorse drive, a healthy respect for books, and more than thirty years’ experience. Her superpower: making agents, publishers, editors, authors, and readers happy.

All at the same time.

Critique

Behind every great book is a thoughtful editor who knew how to summon the author’s best effort. Erin’s manuscript reviews prioritize creative vision, reader satisfaction, and marketability. She urges excellence with frank but friendly observations and suggestions.

Coaching

Your author might go farther faster with an accountability partner and instructor. Erin offers customized guidance to help authors hone their creative process, improve their skills, meet readers’ expectations, and reach their (and your) goals.

Book Doctoring

When you know your author can’t take a project any further but it still has to go the distance, pass the baton to Erin. After a cooperative analysis of what’s needed, she’ll reinvent, revise, rewrite—whatever it takes to get it across the finish line.

Collaboration

Not all messengers are writers. If your author has plenty to say but lacks skills to say it well on paper, Erin can mine the message, pinpoint the meaning, define the scope, protect the voice, and organize it all into a meaningful whole.
