"I am so grateful for Erin's expert eyes on my manuscript. In addition to pointing out my basic errors, she also made me think about the reasons behind the choices I had made. Without her editorial help I would never have placed 2nd in the Daphne du Maurier contest for Romantic Suspense. Finding her to copyedit and proofread my manuscripts has truly been a blessing."

ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Erin.
Word girl.
Grammar nerd.
More books than shelves.
A deep and abiding love of the red — or blue or whatever's handy — pen.
I've always loved the written word and grew up in a house where, "Can I...?" was almost always answered with, "I don't know, can you?"
In 2016 I left my familiar cube in the Communication department of a global consulting firm for the great unknown of motherhood. Let me tell you, all those skills you think are "just for work" totally apply — time management and adhering to a schedule, just to name a few. But I found myself wincing over typos in blog posts and shaking my head at what seemed to be an exponential rise in misused apostrophes. Have you ever found yourself explaining grammar and syntax to a tiny human who can't even speak? Yeah. That's when I started seriously considering using my hawkeye in the freelance world. An acquaintance had just written a novel and was looking for a proofreader. Thus my new career was born!
