Erin’s Bio~

Erin has so many interests, abilities, and levels of experience that she is avoiding writing this biography. But if we must be serious, Erin is a lover of words. She likes to write and read and offer advice to others who want to write and read. She likes to see others succeed at their dreams as much as she dreams of her own.

With Bachelor of Arts degrees in the several majors of Journalism, English, and History, she’s studied great literature and the meaning behind great writing and writing styles, while within the next hour learning editing and media law. How she did it she doesn’t know, but she also studied history and has a fondness for all time periods.

She loves being a journalist, a writer, and an editor most, but has a knack, as well as over a two decades of experience, for publicity and marketing as her passion is a driving force behind many projects. Erin has spent the last 30 years in the journalism, editing, public relations, advertising, and marketing fields.

She currently works for Raw Dog Screaming Press doing PR and marketing and publicity duties, as well as periodically for Corpus Press, but she has worked with many publishers in the horror community. She also works doing freelance for many individual authors and had been a long-standing publicist for authors such as Ronald Malfi, Hunter Shea, Stephanie Wytovich, and many more. She’s managed books go press for publishers, working with many indie publishers, as well as managed and consulted books to self-publishing success as well. She is also a freelance editor and has worked for individual authors at all levels.

Before spending most of her time in publishing the last seven years in editing and publicity, rather than business and/or non-profit, she managed PR and Marketing at 30 department, 75 physician staffed, regional healthcare system for almost a decade, was a bookseller for Kane Miller and Usborne Books (for which she also ran fund-raisers and donated children’s books to schools, churches, and national and international non-profits), and has worked as a reference librarian. She’s done marketing for festivals, clothing lines, music, art, books, hospitality industry such as bed and breakfasts, and managed for large fund-raising such as United Way of Ashland County and her local cancer association. She is a community activist and an award-winning businesswoman.
