Active Mind, Creative Spirit
I love to mix my proficiencies as a writer, editor, consultant, project manager and publisher, to offer a unique view and skillset to my clients. I have helped people realize their dream of publishing books.
I organize and streamline organizations by updating their processes, and creating improved systems to facilitate their business functions. I’ve run operations and content for a daily publication, Seattle Backpackers Magazine, as Editor in Chief and Director of Content.
I’ve written and self-published two full length books about environmental and cultural projects in Nepal.
I’ve organized and curated a collective of photographers who seek to tell everyday stories of regular life in their developing country, and have written for travel outlets and outdoor publications.
I am a flexible, creative storyteller. Non-profit organizations, businesses artists and and authors use my work and services.
I have edited, ghost-written and/or published books including these:
One World Lens – Author: Erika Klimecky
Song of Chomolungma – Author: Erika Klimecky
The Poetry of Karen Waring Sykes – Collected by Robert Morthost, Edited by Erika Klimecky

My travel writing and photo stories include:

The windiest spot on earth, Mt Washington, Vermont, to
A safari in Asia and two ways to look at it.
