He corrects grammatical errors, incorrect word forms, punctuation and spelling errors, incorrect subject-verb agreement, inconsistencies, and he even conducts extensive research in order to determine whether the text contains factual inaccuracies. His grasp of perfect sentence structure and talent for mot juste—“choosing the exact, appropriate word or expression”—result in the exact, appropriate syntax. He works with the writer, offering practical suggestions in order to clarify and improve the content. His relentless pursuit of perfection always results in error-free copy.

Eric’s idea of fun is to read (and highlight extensively in) his dog-eared copies of The Gregg Reference Manual and The Chicago Manual of Style.

And although he once made it his life’s mission to cut all of his high school English classes, Eric ultimately became a writer and copy editor because, as he explained, "God has a great sense of humor."

And now—because he has been transformed into a creature that even he no longer recognizes—he agonizes day and night over the rampant incorrect usage of apostrophes and wishes he had a dollar for every misplaced, dangling, and squinting modifier he’s ever seen.
