I’m Erin. I’m 33. I am a freelancer and essayist based in Portland, Ore.

WRITING AND EDITING SERVICES

Copy editor and writing coach. As an editor and coach, I go deep with authors in a fantastic quest to root out dross, clean up grammar, and strengthen narrative voice. Together, we’ll make that manuscript sing! I particularly enjoy working with new authors and those interested in self-publishing.

Content writer. I specialize in lifestyle copywriting and journalism with an emphasis on tourism, culture, family and food. View my portfolio here.

Essayist. I ponder the many, many intersections of travel, writing, pop culture, and love. Follow my personal blog here.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Photographer. When I’m not editing and writing, I keep busy running a boutique photography business specializing in portrait, photojournalism, and intimate wedding photography. See my photo work here.

Radio announcer. Just for fun, I volunteer as a radio anchor at Portland’s KBOO Community Radio. Catch me announcing the news Wednesdays at 5 p.m. at KBOO.FM.
