Writing for the past, present and future.

all about me

Erica Canela is a public historian, writer, and editor.

As an award-winning historian, I specialise in 17th century history, with a focus on the British Civil Wars and the early Quakers in England. With years of experience as a public speaker, I deliver enthusiastic, insightful talks and presentations that make history accessible and enjoyable.

I am also a freelance copywriter and editor with a meticulous eye for detail and an ability to create engaging SEO-optimised content that will resonate with your readers. I have worked with B2B & B2C organisations, the charity sector, and academia, so I know how to strategically turn words into winning results.
