Erica is a Fiction Editor and Proofreader from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, USA

I am a content writer, editor, and proofreader with nearly three years of experience running my own business and contracting for other companies.
My primary passion is helping indie authors polish their work so they can tell their stories with confidence. I specialize in fantasy but have experience in many other fiction genres, including young adult, romance, thriller, mystery, and dystopian.
These are the services I provide for authors:

  • Beta critiquing: Offer big-picture story feedback—like a manuscript evaluation, beta read, and very light developmental edit all in one.
  • Line editing: Focus on sentence-level edits to improve flow and make your prose shine.
  • Copyediting: Correct errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, formatting, style, clarity, word choice, sentence structure, and coherence.
  • Proofreading: Correct errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, and formatting.
    I'd love to help you tell your story. Reach out today!

Find your dream assistant now

This is such a needed service for authors. I've used VA/PA services from other well-known freelance platforms, but they can be overwhelming and daunting. Looking for an assistant who has some knowledge of the author world (such as Bookbub Ads) is like looking for a needle in a haystack with these larger platforms.

I had been dragging my feet on hiring a more permanent VA/PA for so long because I didn't want to have to deal with looking through that proverbial haystack, but Busy Bee makes it so easy to find the assistant you need for the work you need as an author. Thank you, Brian!!
