A Life Shaped by Words

 
Hi there. I’m Erinn. And since I’m not a fan of small talk, let’s jump right in.
 
I’m a fiction author and reflective writer, currently pursuing traditional publishing while sharing personal essays and creative work here.
 
I fell in love with writing in the fourth grade when I learned the rhythm of the five-paragraph essay. I can still smell the recycled paper with the red and blue wide-set lines designed for a kid with an uneasy grip on a number 2 pencil. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked, for better or worse.
 
I’m blessed to write every day in my perfect-for-me day job, and I started writing novels right after college. Like, immediately after I graduated, when I realized working at an ad agency in NYC wasn’t going to happen in the 2008 market.
 
Fast forward to the present, and I’m signed with WordServe Literary agency, and here I am pursuing the winding road of traditional publishing. Oh, if I had a dime (or is it a nickel?) for every time someone asked me “why not self-publish?” I’d be almost rich. But I’ve had my heart set on a dream, and I believe I’m humbly answering a calling—even if that voice sounds muffled, and I question it almost every other week. A calling nonetheless.
 
In summary (shoutout to this go-to transitional phrase you learn when conquering the five-paragraph essay), you’ve come to a corner of my imagination where I pour out thoughts, feelings, and creative writing of all sorts. I also share updates on my writing journey. Walk with me uphill, laugh with me somewhere in the middle, and hopefully celebrate with me when my clean romance fiction book makes its debut. 

I send a personal reflection and a behind-the-scenes note about my writing twice a month. You can join here.
