I’m Erin – a writer, editor, and mom.
I believe all art is political, and it is, in fact, that deep.
I write random pop culture essays, writing education, and romantic lit-fic.
When I was in grad school, I spent a year and a half obsessing over superhero movies. I wrote multiple seminar papers and even made a spreadsheet of every superhero movie ever made. It was this that made me realize that media both shapes and represents who we are as humans. If superheroes are our archetypes, the people we believe in and admire, what does that say about us?
Now, I take that worldview, and I apply it to a bunch of other media. A lot of media lives rent-free in my head, and I want to talk about it. My favorite thing is a good close read. If that sounds interesting to you, I’d appreciate you sticking around.
If you want regular writing and updates from me, you can join the Substack.
When I’m not working, I’m hanging with my family, reading romance, or playing an absurd amount of Stardew Valley.
I live in New Hampshire with my three small sons. My favorites include indie video games, stories with emotional weight, and carefully designed filmmaking. I watch Spotlight and The Big Short at least once every couple of months, on top of reading quite a bit of romance. I’ve got an advanced degree in English, and I like to use it for this site. I’ve also got some expensive cameras/lenses that I like to use for this site.
Above all, music is what keeps me going. Truly, I listen to everything, and I am never without my headphones. Right now, I’m listening to Halsey, The Steel Wheels, and Olivia Rodrigo. (In case you’re wondering, this is the one sentence on my website that I regularly update.)
