Hi, there!
I’m Erica (she/her), a thoughtful, conscientious editor with experience in developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading. A lifelong lover of school, I received my BA in English from the University of Portland and my MS in book publishing with a specialization in editing from Portland State University.
As copy chief for the student-run, award-winning trade publisher Ooligan Press, I edited fiction and nonfiction books as well as marketing and social media materials. My editorial style is all about editing for good. I fundamentally believe the words we use have power, and that we have a responsibility to use them well.
I currently work as an editor for Thesis Agency in Portland, Oregon. When I’m not hard at work editing a piece of copy to make it shine, you can find me reading books of personal essays (right now I’m loving Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino), listening to fictional horror podcasts, and dreaming of one day adopting a cat despite my terrible allergies. For samples of my editorial work and writing, check out my editorial samples and my blog posts.
