Erika M. Weinert is a line and copy editor who lives in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and is an active member of the Northwest Editors Guild—a regional, industry-specific association of editors. She mentors fledgling editors through the guild and on her own. When she’s not providing remote editing services to her clients and mentoring, Erika can be found at home with her family. She has a wonderful husband who is thoughtful, sensitive, and a great father to their daughter, whom they brought into the world the same year they were married—2008. Their daughter is a typical teen, but she’s also selfless, empathetic, and more self-aware than her mother was at that age. Erika treasures her family—including their two cats—and her career above all else.
