Ericka M.

Editor and writer by day...& night. Avid reader by night...& day.

I am a full-time freelance writer and editor and have worked in media and publishing for nearly twenty years, most recently as the Editor-in-Chief and now Editor-at Large of Writer's Digest, a 100-year-old brand serving the writing community.

I can write anything from a grocery list to a full-length book, fiction or nonfiction (and if you're like me, half your grocery lists end up being fiction at some point!). I write, edit, copyedit, and proofread for individual authors, publishers of fiction and nonfiction, books and magazines, marketing and advertising agencies, and more. You name the format, subject matter, or genre, and I have put red pencil down in it somewhere!

A bookworm since I learned what a book (and for that matter, a worm) was, I honor writers' voices, clients’ guidelines, and I work efficiently, always with good cheer.

Music, art, good causes, and all creatures great and small are very dear to me. I am also only slightly obsessed with Bill Murray, but I have never let it get in the way. (Humor is a crucial part of my existence, too.) Is this enough about me for now?
