Since 1992, Ericka has worked with fiction and non-fiction writers on writing process and product as well as provided editorial services to writers and organizations.

Writing -- or not writing -- can emotionally brutalize you. I work with writers to help you honor your instincts and personal process, find your voice, get unstuck, silence the inner Evil Editor, and celebrate your successes.

Good, powerful writing -- no matter what the genre -- comes from a place of passion and personal conviction. It also comes from developing a writing process that works for you. At times, all writers become unclear of their direction, question the quality of their work, or can use a compassionate and skilled outside eye. You can use a personal writing coach whenever you are stuck on a project or your writing process isn't working. You can use an editor when your project is ready for a sympathetic and insightful outside eye.

As a writer, you might bog down because:

• You don't know which direction to take your writing.
• You're in the middle of a project and can't seem to maintain your motivation.
• Your material frightens you.
• Your "Evil Editor" is getting the upper hand.
• Your schedule and life seem incompatible with "the writer's life."
• You're close to the end of a project but you just can't seem to finish.
• Your work is ready for trustworthy and kind feedback.

Through private consultation and critiques, I can help you relocate your passion, dissipate your fears, restart you, and reinvigorate your writing. As your writing coach, I will help you discover what process works for you, give you honest, constructive feedback, and support you in meeting your writing goals.

I meet with clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and am available for phone, email, and Skype consultation. Please contact me so we can discuss your situation as well as schedules and rates.

Enhance your skills, hone your fiction and creative non-fiction. I provide developmental and in-depth editing for both fiction and nonfiction books. Kind, honest, and insightful critique. I also teach creative writing classes and workshops privately and through UC Berkeley Extension. Whether you're interested in working on-on-one or with a group, I look forward to hearing from you!
