Introduction
I AM COVID19 READY: MASK, GLOVES, SOCIAL DISTANCING, SANITIZER. HAPPY TO BE TESTED AGAIN, IF NEEDED. I'm proud to offer both writing services and painting lessons. I have been painting for ten years and studied in both Rome and London. My students have ranged from 5 years old to 90 years old. I enjoy seeing the creativity and helping with the process of learning to paint through light, color and shape. Working in a L.A. art gallery, as well. I have sold several original paintings of pets and large abstracts. I enjoy bringing a professional flair to all my work. Writing, even when I have tackled medical or technical accounts, always demands stand out wording, headlines and personality, which I can offer any client. Press Release samples available. I currently write and produce content for Instagram feeds for multiple companies. I also upload and taylor to their Facebook, X, and Linkedin accounts. Happy to provide examples. I also specialize in writing wedding speeches! I recently finished a 50,000 word memoir for a client, wrote the business proposal and the query. We scored an agent in just six days! The book is now for sale. I have created stand out events for the Young Hollywood Awards, Anime Expo, Fake Bake, and Yuko Hair Japan, just one of my many international clients, including Cailyn Cosmetics (Korea) Metropolis Hair (Germany) Shevy Wigs (Israel) Mother Center LA (Armenia) and Amaelle (Italy). I enjoy writing, and have years of experience as a magazine writer, a columnist, blogger and now a book author. Writing is my passion; I come from an entire family of wordsmiths. (My mom said I wrote before I spoke.) I am very proud of my new brand clients that have included: Reader's Digest, McGraw Hill, AVON, Estee Lauder, Pepsi, Burke Williams, Universal Studios, Orly Nails, Warner Brothers, Planet Hollywood and CONAIR to name a few. I have had my own beauty column in both STAR and OK! magazines, as well as Women's Health & Fitness, to name a few. I attended conventions on behalf of clients, representing their brands: Cosmoprof and MIFED in Italy; ComicCON and AFM in California.

Erika's PR services are exceptional, which explains her rather lengthy, high profile client list. She demonstrates a profound conversance with the entertainment industry, and all it's intricacies. Her generous advice and guidance has enabled me to avoid potential pitfalls, while leading me to make strategic marketing/promotional choices for the benefit of my company. I highly recommend Erika as PR consultant. Her charm and likability certainly enhances her value.

Erika is a TRUE champion in the PR business!! I've worked with countless creative writers...and each with their strong points. However, Erika gives nothing but EXCELLENCE in all the aspects that matter the most! She's professional, thoughtful, creative and totally committed to her clients success!! My business started out really small, but it's growing quickly and headed in the right direction...and a big part of that is because Erika's contributions helped me to stand head and shoulders above my competition!! Thanks for everything Erika!!

Erika did a nice job stylizing a press release for my client. In brief, she is dedicated to her job and goes out of her way to communicate and speak directly with the spokesperson for the PR in order to glean information she deems valuable for a release. Erika's greatest gift is her ability to craft an angle for a press release that is likely to garner feedback; she gave us some positive insights and we appreciated her efforts.

Erika surprised me. Her rate was so competitive and she was so tenacious I thought Id give her a chance. Good move. Not only did she interview me with prepared questions so that she could write a speech on my behalf, but she researched the art of speech writing at The New York Times and seemed to enjoy learning this new special craft. She was personable, clearly educated and very responsible with her quick followup throughout the time sensitive project. I HIGHLY recommend her and will only use her as a writer for my needs in the future.
