TESTIMONIALS
“
Beth is a wonderful editor to work with, always offering in-depth and clear feedback during the creative process. For an artist, it's important to receive clear instruction and timely communication, and with her the creation and revision process was always prompt and efficient. I enjoyed working with Beth and felt comfortable making suggestions and coming forward with alternative ideas. We were able to work together to produce a successful product.

I worked with Beth for over 2 years on the development and publication of my first book, Abstracts in Acrylic and Ink. I can honestly say I felt 150% confident in her guidance, professionalism, and her vision as an editor. She truly brought a lot to the table as we both worked tirelessly from inception to publication and release of the book. When I was unsure of what to do, she guided me through the process. When I needed encouragement she was there to support me as an artist and writer.
As my project progressed, she was very willing to incorporate my ideas and vision while maintaining the overall concept of what myself, Beth, and the publishers had agreed upon. My book turned out fantastic and has been one of the best selling new releases in 2016 and 2017 in the acrylic and painting category. I highly recommend anyone in need of editorial or publication work for their own personal projects to work with Beth.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Beth Erikson on two books. Beth is a well-organized, professional editor able to provide just the right guidance and support. Her confident and upbeat personality makes her a delight to work with on projects.

Beth was my editor for Designing Creatures and Characters. It was a terrific experience working with her. She understood my unconventional approach instantly and was behind it 100%. It's always harder breaking new ground, but together we produced a guide for aspiring digital artists that stands out in a crowded field.
Beth was a great ally, keeping us on schedule, pushing me to stretch where it mattered most, and saving me work where there were opportunities for that. I give her a lot of credit for raising the bar! The book is all the better for her involvement.

Working with Beth was wonderful. It was reassuring knowing I had an incredibly reliable editor who was deeply invested in our project. She was always eager to help and patiently answered even the most trivial questions I had throughout the process. I'd look forward to any project I had with her on the team.

Working with Beth was a joy. I had so much to learn in a short time. All my questions and concerns were answered promptly. Beth had a solid grasp of my audience, so her editing suggestions really made my book even better. I would definitely work with her again on my next project.

BIO
Editor. Bibliophile. Marketer. Nerd. Traveler.
​
I was always the kid that took a giant bag with me to the library because I would leave with a stack of books taller than I was. I snuck behind my parent's backs to watch anime as a kid. I learned to play video games thanks to my older brother and the magic of emulators. I hunted down all the info I could about a topic because my curiosity would not be sated. I have explored eleven countries and can't wait to see more.
I'm a proud nerd and passionate individual who will happily talk your ear off about the latest Marvel movie, Doctor Who episode, a great podcast, or a new tabletop board game. I love diving into the minutia of the media I consume, whether it's noticing the tiny background details in a movie I’m watching for the hundredth time or analyzing a character’s motivations in a favorite book. I am well-versed in many fandoms and am always curious and eager to learn more about the ones I don’t know yet.
I am a creative marketing professional with a passion for design, storytelling, and working on products that bring people joy and entertainment. I have worked in the publishing industry for eight years, first with books then with board games, developing an eclectic mix of skills. During my career so far, I have developed and edited thirty books, managed branding and content on multiple social media platforms, and created and executed marketing content for over thirty board games.
