Hi! I’m Erica Converso, author of the Five Stones Pentalogy. I love chocolate, animals, anime, musicals, and lots and lots of books - though not necessarily in that order.

At the age of six, I realized I could never be an Olympic gymnast without mastering cartwheels. Instead, I decided to imagine my dreams for a living, and I’ve been writing ever since. I live in New York with my husband and two hyperactive cats.

In addition to my work as an author, I have been an intern at Marvel Comics, an SAT and college essay tutor, and a database and emerging technologies librarian. Between helping adult patrons in the reference section and mentoring teens in the evening reading programs, I was also the resident research expert for anyone requiring more in-depth information for a project.

As an editor, I aim to improve and polish your work to a professional level, while also teaching you to hone your craft and learn from previous mistakes. With every piece I edit, I see the author as both client and student. I believe that every manuscript presents an opportunity to grow as a writer, and a good editor should teach you about your strengths and weaknesses so that you can return to your writing more confident in your skills.
