Authority Accelerator™

A bespoke engagement with a professional editor, writing coach, and visibility consultant who will help you navigate the publishing process and make sure that every article you write positions you as an authoritative expert.

Step into the spotlight. Become an authoritative expert.

​Whether you want a more intensive, custom version of one of my signature programs or a focused strategy session to clarify your next steps, I can recommend the right mix of services to ensure you get the support you need as you continue to build your reputation as an authoritative expert. The one-to-one services outlined below can be provided individually, or we can combine services to create a custom package that meets your needs. 

​PUBLICATION ROADMAP
During three 90-minute strategy sessions, we will develop your BIG idea, establish an editorial calendar, and identify a targeted list of publications to pitch. After the first two sessions, you will receive a publication roadmap that includes a pitch strategy, profiles of three to five media outlets (including a brief description and links to the editorial guidelines and media kit), and a draft six-month editorial calendar. In the third session, we'll finalize the roadmap, outline next steps, and address any remaining questions.

​VISIBILITY CONSULTING
These three-month, renewable engagements offer a combination of structure and flexibility to meet your needs as you build your reputation as an authoritative expert. Each month, we'll come together for a 45-minute strategy session to set realistic goals and deadlines for the month as well as address any questions or concerns. I will hold you accountable to your goals with regular check-ins, and you'll have unlimited email access to me, along with 15-minute laser coaching sessions to discuss new opportunities, answer questions, or clarify next steps. In addition, I will complete a developmental and substantive edit of two standard articles (up to 1,250 words each) for publication. The developmental edit will improve the article's structure and organization. This includes recommending ways to strengthen the headline, deck, and lede, identifying areas where the writing has strayed from its purpose, and pointing out opportunities to increase authority by adding detail or citations. The substantive edit tightens the copy so it is clear and compelling. We can meet after each round of edits to review the copy, recommended changes, and comments together.

(Billed in three installments.)

EDITORIAL ASSESSMENT
Become a stronger, more compelling writer. Provide up to 3,500 words of copy — typically three articles — along with the objective, audience, and any concerns you have for each piece. I will conduct a developmental edit to improve the structure and organization of each article. This includes recommending ways to strengthen the headline, deck, and lede, identifying areas where the writing has strayed from its purpose, and pointing out opportunities to increase authority by adding detail or citations. Once you complete the first round of revisions, I will conduct a substantive edit to tighten the copy so it is clear and compelling. In addition to the edited articles, you will receive a memorandum with detailed feedback about how to improve your writing. The project concludes with a one-hour, recorded video conference call to review the report and answer your questions. 
Investment: $1,500

​FOCUSED STRATEGY SESSIONS
​These strategy sessions are designed to be flexible to address your most pressing needs. You can either book one 90-minute session or two 45-minute sessions spaced two weeks apart. You determine the goal for every strategy session, which might include brainstorming article ideas, reviewing a pitch, developing outlines, looking at ways to syndicate or repurpose existing content, drafting interview questions, or figuring out the best way to take advantage of a new opportunity. You'll receive a recording of the session along with a memorandum outlining the primary takeaways and resources or assignments to help you move forward.

​PROFESSIONAL EDITING
Submit a standard article of up to 1,250 words along with the objective, audience, and any concerns you have for the piece. I will conduct a developmental edit to improve the article's structure and organization. This includes recommending ways to strengthen the headline, deck, and lede, identifying areas where the writing has strayed from its purpose, and pointing out opportunities to increase authority by adding detail or citations. Once you complete the first round of revisions, I will conduct a substantive edit to tighten the copy so it is clear and compelling. I am available to meet after each round of revisions to answer questions and brainstorm solutions.

A note on price transparency.

Why do I publish my prices? Because it gives you all the information you need to decide whether you would like to explore our working together. You know exactly what to expect, and so we can spend our time together talking about solutions and next steps instead of pricing.

​Besides, being transparent aligns with my values — and that just plain feels good!

Are you ready to step into the spotlight?

If you want to be recognized as an authoritative expert, I can help. Schedule a 30-minute call and we'll come up with your best next steps!

"Incredible insight and research abilities."

​​“I had the good fortune to work with Erica on a project concerning affordable housing in Toronto. Her interest in the project, along with her incredible insight and research abilities made the project a tremendous success. On a personal note, Erica's personality and sense of humor made the project that much more enjoyable to work on. She is without a doubt one of the finest professionals I've had the pleasure to work with.”
