I worked with Erin on three of my picture books: The Library Bus, A Sky-Blue Bench, and If You See a Bluebird. It was a great experience, and throughout the process, Erin was really helpful, providing me with valuable suggestions to improve my manuscript. She has a gift for selecting book titles, for which I’ll always be grateful. I’d recommend her to any writers, whether they’re new to the craft or well-established.

Erin has edited a number of my books and I’ve always been pleased with her keen eye for detail, curiosity and respect for my intentions. She is a true wordsmith and has a masterful way of massaging my words into sentences that are succinct and finely crafted. I would recommend Erin for any editorial work as I know she will take the time and care to edit thoughtfully.

I was lucky enough to work with Erin Alladin on six picture book manuscripts. Her expert insights and encouraging nature always made the revision process a pleasure. Erin’s keen editing skills and thoughtful feedback will take any manuscript to the next level and beyond.

My first editorial experience with Erin was when she told me a story had potential, but urged me to try changing the point of view. Doing so transformed the story, and gave me confidence in Erin as a sensitive and thoughtful reader, with a with a keen ear for how a text will sound when read aloud. Since then we have worked on several other books, and I have consistently been impressed with her attention to detail, knowledge of the educational market, and deft hand at trimming what is not needed.

Erin was the editor for both books I co-wrote, and I was so impressed by how she took our two different writing styles and seamlessly edited them into a final product that sounded like one voice. She has excellent ideas and is easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend her services.

When I worked with Erin to develop learning resources for This is the Boat that Ben Built, she asked great questions that helped me to narrow my focus, bring out key points, and avoid extraneous details. This ensured that the materials would be concise and relevant for their intended audience.
