Writing Services
If you work in healthcare management or run your own business, you know that good writing is vital to success. The best, most relatable content is written by skilled humans, not AI. I can write marketing content, policies, grant applications and more. Check out my writing services page for more information, or contact me for a free consultation.

Words matter, and getting your words right will empower you.
I'm Erica, and I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I wrote a new story every week, putting pen to paper to bring fantastical people and places to life. But — as a dedicated student, acing every spelling test — it was always about more than just the creative process; I value the clarity of well-crafted language.
I provide editing services for fiction and non-fiction writers, and content writing services for healthcare organization and business owners. As a qualified editor and writer, I bring caring, skilled eyes to your project. Its success will be as important to me as it is to you.
MY WRITING AND EDITING BACKGROUND
I gained my BA dual honours degree in English and History at the University of Keele in Staffordshire. Writing is my longest held passion and in recent years, I’ve won or placed highly in several creative writing contests. In 2022, I decided to pursue a new path within the world of writing, and I began studying editing at Simon Fraser University. Over 90% of my work is remote. This allows me the pleasure of working with diverse clients from across Canada and around the world. I live in Canada but am originally from the UK, so I can work in either Canadian or British English.
MY WORK HISTORY
After gaining my BA, I took a break from writing, pursuing a career in the National Health Service. I spent a decade in clinical quality improvement, working with clinicians to write policies, audit reports and patient surveys. In 2008, my husband and I launched our photographic services business, and in 2016 we made the move to Canada, continuing the successful development of this business. My wide-ranging career has given me extensive experience and a broad knowledge base that is invaluable to my clients. I've volunteered with local history organizations and saved a heritage building from demolition.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PREPOSITIONS
I live in a picturesque mountain town in western British Columbia with my husband Christian and our sweet golden labrador Fuji. I volunteer with Pacific Assistance Dogs, supporting the training of superstar pups who go on to transform the lives of clients with mobility and other health issues. When I'm not writing or editing, I can usually be found with a film camera in my hand, capturing the unique people, light and landscapes of the beautiful province I call home. Failing that, I'll be reading, birdwatching, having fun with friends and family or - perhaps more frequently than I should admit - watching Star Trek.
