Overview
With ten years of experience editing fiction and nonfiction manuscripts and five years as a web editor with the World Health Organization, I have worked on hundreds of book projects, academic dissertations, and corporate publications.
I currently offer two services. The first is an editorial evaluation: a 4–7 page report of what works and what doesn't in your manuscript. As an objective reader, I will point out recurring issues in writing style, how your story or arguments are structured, and how well it meets your goals for the project. I will then recommend next steps, which you can pursue with the appropriate editor as needed. The evaluations are written entirely by me without the use of AI.
I also offer developmental editing, meaning I work through the manucript and add comments with suggestions, praise, and broader ideas. This does not include line editing, as this stage of the process is meant for bigger adjustments before fine-tuning grammar and punctuation.
Please get in touch to discuss how I can help with your book project.
I've been fortunate to work with accomplished and talented authors. Here's what they've said:
"I’ve written five books, all with Eric as the editor, and he has largely been the reason for their quality and success. Eric made the editing process painless and effective, but his help extended to much more than just editing: he took an active role in suggesting improvements and strategies. With Eric’s help, Mastering Online Marketing became the polished, professional book I had envisioned."
- Magnus Unemyr, author of 'Mastering Online Marketing' and others
“I enjoyed working with Eric. His editing work was excellent and he came up with several suggestions that I would not have thought of on my own. Everything was completed in a timely manner. The only change I will make for my next book is connecting with him earlier in the process.”
– John Cameron, author of 'Rock Solid: How to Strengthen Your Company'
"Eric’s editing is smart. His keen eye, attention to details and command of the English language helped my sentences and ideas get clearer and more precise throughout my book. I appreciated the first round of the editorial evaluation. This gave me a chance to better structure my book, before going into his final editing service. And now after he has gone through the book with a fine comb, I feel confident putting it out into the world. I highly recommend his services.”
– Sue Vittner, author of 'From Your Vision Board to Your Bedroom'
