Erick Mertz Writing Reviews

I am beyond grateful for Erick! I emailed him asking for desperate help with my screenplay and budget limit - and he replied within 42 minutes. He is easy to communicate with, does not push a sale, and genuinely wants to match clients with the best writer for their needs. If it weren't for Erick, I would not have been matched with a fantastic and ethical writer who not only got my story industry ready - but was also so invested that they are now my writing partner. I owe it all to Erick!

Erick Mertz is an author, editor, consultant, screen writer, ghost writer, publisher, plus. And he is enthusiastic to share his wealth of experience and talent with other writers to help with their projects and writing careers. Two hours with a presentation by Erick was informative, inspirational, and as one attendee said, "a writing vitamin." We were energized to go back to our computers and notebooks and get started writing!

Working with Erick as my editor on my book was an absolute game-changer! His guidance and expertise not only polished my writing but also honed my understanding of structural nuances and chapter flow. Erick's eye for detail and his knack for constructive feedback transformed my manuscript into a cohesive and compelling book. His dedication to excellence and support to me as a first-time author throughout the process was invaluable. Working with Erick was not just about refining my book he also helped me grow as a writer. I can't thank him enough for his contributions and coaching to me throughout this process. I highly recommend him as a coach, writer, and collaborative partner. Samantha L. Smiley

Erick did a marvelous job formatting my novel "Naked Came The Hunter". He exceeded my expectations by many parsecs. When my next novel is ready, I'll be calling on Erick again. And again, and again!

Choosing someone to help write and edit my life story has been a journey all on its own. I had contacted a few people of whom I never felt a true connection that is until I discovered Erick. Reading and recognizing a persons character can be difficult. Erick has always been professional, understanding and honest. He doesn’t mince his words and his comments and suggestions have always been helpful. I’m truly looking forward to working with Erick as I continue my memoir journey.
