Services
Every story begins with understanding your audience. Whether you’re writing for young readers, agents, or healthcare professionals, my role is to help your ideas connect with the people they’re meant to reach.
I offer a range of editorial services designed to strengthen your story and help it reach its full potential. As a former editor at a major publishing house with experience spanning publishing, healthcare communications, and brand management, I bring both editorial expertise and a strategic understanding of audience and positioning.
Because I work with a limited number of clients, every project receives thoughtful, personalized attention. My goal is to help you become a stronger storyteller, giving you tools and insights you can carry into every project that follows.
Query Letter Edits
A strong query letter can make all the difference. I’ll provide detailed feedback on your query’s structure, tone, clarity, and positioning to help your manuscript stand out to agents. I also offer synopsis reviews as an add-on service.
Manuscript Critiques
Ideal for early drafts, a manuscript critique provides big-picture feedback on your story’s structure, pacing, writing style, and market positioning. You’ll receive an editorial letter with actionable recommendations to guide your next revision.
Developmental Editing
For manuscripts that are ready for deeper revision, developmental editing offers comprehensive feedback on voice, character, plot, pacing, structure, and overall storytelling, along with in-text editorial comments where appropriate.
Copy Editing & Proofreading
For manuscripts nearing publication, I provide line-level editing to improve clarity, consistency, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style while ensuring your unique voice remains intact.
Medical & Scientific Editing
I provide editorial support for healthcare and pharmaceutical communications, including print and digital materials. Services include editing, fact-checking, formatting, and quality control for scientific accuracy, regulatory compliance, brand consistency, and AMA style.

Testimonials
"Erin was fantastic to work with! Her feedback really showcased how much time and care she put into reading my manuscript. She was kind and encouraging yet didn’t hold back on where my novel needed work. Her notes and assessment letter were super helpful. She provided me with direction on how to make my novel stronger, ideas on how to develop my characters more, and lots of tips on where and how to increase my worldbuilding. It was exactly the kind of feedback I needed to bring out the best in my novel. I highly recommend her services and will be returning to hire her again whenever I need fresh eyes and professional insight. Thank you, Erin for a wonderful and thoughtful critique! I truly appreciate it!”
