From interchangeable cog to irreplaceable thought partner.
To win high-level consulting projects and secure the right partnerships, you must differentiate yourself from your peers and build your authority.
It’s no longer enough to excel at what you do. You must be known for what you do.
Your publishing strategy should be tailored to your specific business goals — whether that means sharing insights through a newsletter, blog, third-party outlet, or high-visibility publication like Harvard Business Review. Every article you write must contribute to a cohesive body of work that validates your expertise. By focusing on depth over volume, you stop adding to the noise and start adding to the conversation.

Erica offered advice tailored to my goals.
“I had the opportunity to write an article for ACRES U.S.A., but I wasn’t sure how to make the most of that opportunity. Erica took the time to research the publication before our call. She asked questions to get me thinking about how I could use the article to connect with and bring in more clients. She also encouraged me to deepen my relationship with this publication since we both serve the same audience. Erica offered advice tailored to my goals. She knew how I could get more involved with the publication, and she coached me on what to ask the editor and how to approach my fellow contributing writers. And she did it all with the friendliest, encouragingest, let’s-freaking-geddit words ever, and I so appreciate it!”
Claire Smith, Tenera Grains Consulting
Hi! I’m Erica.
I’m an authority development strategist for independent consultants. After two decades as a magazine writer, editor, and content marketer, I know how easy it is to get stuck on the content treadmill — cranking out volume in the hopes of being discovered.
But high-level consulting projects aren’t won through volume; they’re won through authority.
The SILVA Method™ is my proprietary framework for developing a body of work that builds authority and serves as a powerful business development asset. Drawing from my background in publishing, I help you unearth your boldest insights and turn them into high-quality articles for your blog, newsletter, or publications like Inc., TD Magazine, and Harvard Business Review — positioning you as the obvious choice.
Your perspective is your differentiator. Share it.
Erica helped launch my publication experience.
“Erica helped launch my publication experience in an efficient manner and empowered me with the skills and information to do it on my own. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and funny — which makes working with her valuable and fun. Even after we completed our work together, she continued to celebrate and champion my successes, which went beyond my expectations.”
