Custom engagements aligned with your goals.
Whether you want a more intensive version of one of my programs or a focused strategy session to clarify your next steps, I will recommend the right mix of services to ensure you get the support you need as you start writing for high-visibility publications. The services outlined below are a starting point. We’ll work together to create a custom package that meets your needs.
Please note: I work with five private clients each month, so there may be a waitlist. If that’s the case, we’ll talk about your next best steps so you can continue making progress toward your goals.
A thought partner and editor.
“Erica provides that unique and powerful combination of a thought partner and an editor. She shares her input, then pushes back and forth with you to wrestle down an idea until it’s crystal clear. She’s also a word nerd ruthless about slashing out any darlings and unnecessary fluff with refreshing bluntness. My ability to communicate my thoughts simply has improved by working with her. She’s A-team material.”
Katie Burkhart, Purpose-Driven Business Consultant
Publication Roadmap Development
Choosing the right publication to help you reach your goals and knowing what to write about is much easier when you have a roadmap. During five 90-minute strategy sessions, we will:
- Create a roadmap that details your business objectives, outlines a pitch strategy, and profiles up to three media outlets that will help you reach the right audience and achieve your business objectives.
- Define your body of work, starting with the overarching idea that defines your area of expertise and the themes and topics that will position you as an authority in your field.
- Establish an editorial calendar with at least six well-developed article ideas that provide your audience with actionable insights and demonstrate your experience-based expertise.
Fee: $3,750.00
Erica has been a trusted advisor at every step.
“I am grateful to work with Erica. Publishing a regular column on Inc.com has increased my credibility, and Erica has been a trusted advisor at every step. She understands how the publishing world works and gets the nuances that most people miss. Her intelligence, organizational skills, and enthusiasm shine through, whether explaining proper grammar, strategizing, or interpreting an editor’s comments. But importantly, she is authentically and unapologetically herself.”
