About Me
Hello and welcome! My name is Erin, and this is going to be the home for my monthly newsletter, full of updates on my creative life.
So who am I and why should you want this? Well, depending on the day, I like to say either that I'm a writer of speculative fiction across formats or that I'm a writer of stories and games. My published work includes science fiction and fantasy short stories, TTRPG lore and adventures, short interactive fiction games, and script work for Zombies, Run! I'm also one of the hosts on the weekly writing podcast Writing Excuses and a creative writing teacher at UT-Austin.

- Honor Thy Mothers (Then Again)
- Sour Milk Girls (Clarkesworld)
- Snake Season (The Dark)
- The Grays of Cestus V (Asimov's)
- Wolfy Things (Podcastle)
My Interactive Fiction

What To Expect Here
These are early days, so everything is subject to change, but here's what I've got planned to send out starting around Valentine's Day 2024.

- Foreshadowing: Where To Find Me Next
- Themes & Motifs: What I'm Watching, Reading, and Playing

Over time, I may add some more in-depth content, but only the newsletter will hit your inbox every month, and it'll link out to anything else I've written that month, so feel confident signing up without being inundated with email (though we do need to talk about car's extended warranty...). :-)
I hope you enjoy!
