Matthew Arkin, Lead Story Editor
Matthew Arkin brings a wealth of creative experience and insight to My Two Cents Editing. He studied English at Wesleyan University, practiced law in NYC after graduating from Fordham University, and has been a professional actor since childhood, honoring his father and first teacher, Alan Arkin.
Matthew lives in Los Angeles and directs the Acting Intensive Program at South Coast Rep, teaches at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, and heads up Matthew Arkin Studios, where he teaches private acting classes.

Rhonda Erb, Copy Chief
Rhonda Erb is a writer, editor, and voracious reader who has executed eagle-eyed copyediting and proofreading for My Two Cents Editing since 2014. Her discerning eye and dauntless pursuit of clear, concise, correct copy make her an invaluable editor and an incomparable wingwoman for authors and editors alike.
Rhonda studied elementary education, nursing, sociology, and research methods for writers before earning a reputation for excellent feedback from renowned indie publisher SkipJack Publishing. During a mentorship with My Two Cents Editing, Rhonda’s accuracy and kindness on the page were quickly recognized.
From horror to comedy to heaps of nonfiction, Rhonda’s reading interests are broad and deep. She gives her grandparents’ integrity and unconditional love credit for her work ethic, and focuses on books that expand her horizons and let her exercise flexibility while following the rules.
She and her husband live in Amarillo, Texas, where their kids, grandkids, dogs and granddogs keep their house raucous and joyful around the clock — until it’s time for her to edit, and then everybody clears out.
