Overview
After graduating from Brown University with a bachelor's in semiotics, I began my career as a copy editor and freelance writer in Tokyo and New York, then moved to Denver to cover health care and schools at The Denver Post. Later I earned a Master of Nonprofit Management degree at Regis University and worked in communications at The National MS Society and McREL International. In recent years I have focused on copyediting, proofreading and substantive editing of professional learning courses, journal articles, newsletters and nonfiction books.
Through Reedsy I've had the opportunity to support authors on a marvelous array of topics, from prison life to piano tuning. I am always happy to provide a brief sample edit so you can judge, risk-free, if you think we'll work well together.
I'm a member of ACES: The Society for Editing, Editors Canada and the Apostrophe Protection Society.
"As a published author, I’ve worked with several editors over the years and Eric is one of the best. He digs deep to understand content, has a great eye for ways to make any text better, and doesn’t let anything slip past him. He’s also a great writer himself, so he can lend a hand with a better turn of a phrase as needed. I’d recommend Eric to anyone in need of freelance writing or editing." — Bryan Goodwin, President & CEO, McREL International
"I wrote a 500-page history while quarantined with a working spouse and a two-year-old. I was in no mood to manage manuscript preparation on my own. Eric rid the MS of typos and formatting inconsistencies, even in difficult technical terminology. He made wording suggestions that respected my subject and style and returned everything ahead of schedule, shaving weeks if not months off the process.” — Dr. Christopher England, Lecturer, Loyola University Maryland
