After a few years of trying to finish off my novel, I realized that I would need help. As soon as I found Erin, a weight lifted off my shoulders. She has gone the extra mile in helping and supporting me in getting the novel ready for publishing. Erin puts the reader at the heart of everything she does, and this really shines through–the novel improved so much with her support and honestly, I would have never been able to do it without her. I will only ever use Erin for my work going forward.
~Bianca Huttner, author of The Eternal
“I totally love Erin’s professionalism, availability, and passion. She does both my developmental and copy editing. My work is so so much better once she’s gone through it. She really can find the little things that can make my books better. And of course, she is so so easy to work with. She works with me, not for or against me. I like that I can call her and say, ‘Erin, how are WE going to fix this?’ then we start talking. It’s always a team effort.”
~Martine Lewis, author of The Gray Eyes Series
“Every writer needs a good editor. Over the past few months, I have been truly blessed to have my work crafted by Erin Liles, who is not just good but GREAT. Erin has a gift at finding a balance between serving the writer as the owner of the story, while expertly advising the writer how to rearrange and enhance his or her work, much as a great sculptor would guide a protégé to smooth a rough piece of clay into a sculpture to be enjoyed by the eyes of many. As the editing and revising process has gone forward with Erin’s counsel, I have seen my novel take shape into a story that just might be of interest to an agent or a publisher. Erin truly makes editing an art unto itself; moreover, an added bonus is that her fees are extremely reasonable. I can’t give Erin enough praise, and I highly recommend her to writers to edit their work.”
~James Jacobs, author of No Ordinary Season
“Erin is an absolute joy to work with! As a self-published author, I was very nervous to work with an editor–worried that he or she would try to change my style and vision. But there was no reason to fear! Erin completely understood my style and every suggestion worked to enhance my writing rather than constrain it. Her grammatical edits were exactly what I needed to tighten my story and take it to the next level. But Erin went above and beyond the call of duty–not only leaving helpful critiques but also layering in encouraging comments that bolstered my confidence in my story. As soon as I received her edits, I knew it was the beginning of a wonderful working relationship and I’ve already contacted her about working on my next novel!”
~Kaitlyn Davis, bestselling author
“Erin made the editing process very painless. In addition to getting my manuscript sculpted into something that I can be confident in, I also learned a lot along the way.”
~Jonathan Anderson,
author of Guns and Bones
“Erin Liles is an editor, a very good editor. When I think of her, the words that leap out are professional, skillful, thoughtful, diligent, timely, personable and extraordinary value. I have enjoyed working with her on a number of stories and her developmental and copy edits as well as her proofreads have made all of them better. Every writer needs—desperately needs—a good editor. A good editor is the glue that makes the creative parts come together into a coherent whole. Do not hire Erin Liles unless you want to become a better writer. You’ve been warned.”
~Jeffrey Minch, writer
“Erin Liles line edited two of my books, Godland and Elspeth, the Living Dead Girl. What struck me most about Erin was her professionalism and dedication in shaping my manuscripts into the best possible books they could be. She makes several passes through the book, detailing items with a sharp eye. I’ve experienced several editors who go through the manuscript once and call it a day. Not Erin. She keeps going until she, too, is happy with the finished product. A true professional, I’d work with Erin again in a heartbeat.”
~Stuart West, author
“I found Erin professional and very easy to work with. She completed my edits in a timely manner, and I was very happy with the quality of her work.”
~Aikoi Shelomeck, author of A Boy Named Chrisangelo
“Erin is the best! She is meticulous, her edits are appropriate to the style of my novel, and she offers concise reasoning for her deletions or additions. I also trust her evaluation of my novels. I will use her again.”
~Ted Strahan, author of The Terrorist Mind
