TESTIMONIALS


“Erin is an editing wizard! We clicked from the start. She helped me fine-tune the purpose of my book and the most appropriate target audience. This was great as it was actually different than I’d originally thought. She really got me. She pulled more details from me to clarify the meaning of certain passages. She moved text around to improve the flow. She validated my intuition by keeping the first chapter as the first chapter when others thought it should be something else. I'm so happy that Erin showed up when she did. I will definitely use her for book #2 and beyond.”


~ Jo Ann Richards, author of Midlife Magic, a memoir


"Erin is an editor with deep insight and vision. She helped me find the underlying themes in my writing, articulating and clarifying the meaning I was working to express. Erin's questions guided me to more fully develop my writing, from establishing clearer continuity in the plot of my story to identifying the purpose of each word. She carefully examines the details while understanding the work as a whole, ensuring there is cohesion and integrity from the first page to the last."


~ Tony Wass, author of Little Drummer Boy, a memoir

Work experience

Self-employed

May, 2020 — Present

Since 2020, I have been helping creative nonfiction writers write books that shine! I've copyedited for publishers Red Leaf Publishing and Familius, worked with full-service publishing company Book Launchers as a writing coach and content editor, and served as a managing editor for VoiceCatcher, an online literary journal of poetry, prose, and art by women of the Pacific Northwest. In June 2023, I co-authored and published international Amazon best-seller, Get Published: Industry Experts Share Their Secrets, in which I shared how I coach writers through my Master Plan book coaching program. In July 2023, LA Weekly named me as one of their 15 Book Coaches to Watch in 2023. In Fall 2023, I will be working with Inspired Hearts Publishing to edit their forthcoming anthology and with Hille House Publishing to offer a writing seminar to their latest cohort of writers.

Erin Lund is excellent. First off, she worked with my budget and was patient through some delays I had. She was responsive to my every message and additional questions and even went as far as creating an Intro template which I absolutely needed. Her edits were very detailed, honest and helpful. Not only did Erin point out what to correct but she also explained why I needed to correct it. I feel...

Erin is everything I hoped for when looking for someone to edit my manuscript. She responded to my inquiry right away, and understood from the very beginning what it needed. I can't thank Erin enough for the detail and care she put into it, with her ability to go through each part of my manuscript and see how it needed to flow and what parts needed to change. All of the information is valuable ...

Erin Lund was the right choice for a developmental edit of my manuscript. Erin's feedback was thorough, detailed, and actionable. Erin's thoughtful comments have me excited to dive back into rewrites. With her guidance, I am determined to make my book, A*hole Alert for Nurses, worth the time it takes to read. Thanks, Erin for your encouragement and expertise.
