Who is the

LITERARY MERCENARY?

It would appear that we English-speakers HAVE A LOT to say!

"English is the most flexible tool ever devised by humans...

no matter what you're trying to build, you should learn to USE IT!"

--Ric Erwin, the Literary Mercenary

Hi, I'm Ric Erwin-- the Literary Mercenary.

I am a professional singer & actor, and a leader of the Christmas Community

I am also a writer, master of ceremonies & public speaker...

When I lecture on modern literacy, I often open with this:

 "Language is the most democratic tool in human history:

you can use it as a hammer, and leave a clear impression;

 on the other hand, if you can ALSO use it as a scalpel--

then you can leave an even BETTER impression..."

 

So, if you wonder what to ask SANTA for this year,

ask him to bring you A LARGER VOCABULARY!!!

You know that old saying-- first impressions are lasting impressions?  

Now, thanks to the Internet, IT IS MORE TRUE THAN EVER!

The fact is, that no matter how amazing and original your ideas might be,

 if you ever intend to share those ideas with other folks in print or online--

in order to be taken seriously, they MUST be well-written!

So do what most successful people do:
HIRE IT OUT!

Whether you need a

professional

Proof-Reader

(catch & correct errors in your writing)

a discreet

Ghost-Writer

(your ideas under your name, but in my words)

or an experienced

Spec Writer

(my words, my name--according to your specifications),

...take a minute to find out how LitMerc might help you

elevate your idea to a whole new level...

 

Where it's sure to be both noted AND acted upon!
