TESTIMONIALS

“Erin is an editing wizard! We clicked from the start. She helped me fine-tune the purpose of my book and the most appropriate target audience. This was great as it was actually different than I’d originally thought. She really got me. She pulled more details from me to clarify the meaning of certain passages. She moved text around to improve the flow. She validated my intuition by keeping the first chapter as the first chapter when others thought it should be something else. I'm so happy that Erin showed up when she did. I will definitely use her for book #2 and beyond.”

~ Jo Ann Richards, author of Midlife Magic, a memoir

“Just one book-coaching session with with Erin reignited my belief that I CAN get this book living inside me out into the world and make a real difference. Erin’s knowledge, gentle structured guidance, and genuine excitement about what I want my book to bring to the world has flipped my view from seeing my book as something else I need to get done to something I’m counting down the hours until I get to work on again because I WANT to! And I have Erin by my side providing her guidance and feedback. Erin is a gift.”

~ Tabatha Kattau, Emotional Wellness Psychotherapist, author of The Gift
