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... learn how to USE IT!"

--Ric Erwin, the Literary Mercenary

Oxford Language Project acknowledges more than 250,000 English words:   that DOUBLES the Spanish list and nearly TRIPLES Hindi/Urdu! 

Despite this rich literary heritage, Americans only recognize about 20,000 words...

And in their daily lives, most Americans use only 5,000 words!  

That's where LitMerc comes in!
His vocabulary has been tested by MENSA
and estimated at nearly 50,000 WORDS !
 

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

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

(along w/ my wife, Victoria: our signature characters are Singin' Santa & Diva Claus )--

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: just HIRE IT OUT!

 

 

Whether you need a professional proof-reader

(someone to catch & correct any errors in your writing)


 

 

 

 

a discreet ghost-writer

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

 

 

 

 

or an experienced free-lance spec writer

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

 

...perhaps you should 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!
