Testimonials
Working with Erin on the Coffee Table Art Book was an essential part of bringing this project to life. Proofreading may be a quiet role behind the scenes, but it is absolutely critical and Erin’s sharp eye and thoughtful attention to detail made all the difference. Most importantly, she ensured that each artist’s voice remained true and uninterrupted It was also wonderful that Erin is local, which gave me the chance to meet her in person. She is not only meticulous and professional, but also an easy and genuine person to work with. I’m grateful for her contribution and can’t recommend her enough.”
-Regan Caton (Coffee Table Art book)
“Erin’s attention to detail, ability to root out errors, and respect for deadlines have been a great asset to our books. Her proofreading skills are solid!”
--Terry Deal, assistant director of production editorial, the Random House Publishing Group
"Erin is always so easy and fun to work with! She catches the small things in both copy and design that our eyes can't after multiple passes. It's great to have such a reliable proofreader on our list!"
—Kylee Hayes, editorial project director, The Quarto Group
Erin and I worked together for a decade, at the award-winning newspapers of North Jersey Media Group of the Gannett/USA Today network and later MontclairLocal.news, she in the capacities as researcher/reporter for a variety of topics and as everybody's proofreader. Erin came through for the team, story after story, with attention to detail, catching the typos, correcting grammar, and more, in a timely fashion, usually under the tight deadlines for both the weekly print editions and frequently daily online posts. Erin is always a pleasure to work with, intelligent, focused, diligent, well-read, and witty.

Erin Roll and I worked together on the startup print weekly Montclair Local (founded 2017), where she had the school district beat and also did general assignment reporting, and I was the copy editor. She’s a diligent reporter and writer who turns in clean copy on time (yay!). Erin’s work has been recognized by the New Jersey Press Association for investigative reporting, feature writing, and headline writing. She’s a good colleague on collaborative projects, including feature articles and breaking news. Outside of the news business, she has wide-ranging interests; she’s an outdoorswoman and a sci-fi aficionado. She happens to be a great baker, too, so see if you can snag a scone along with an article or profile.
