Erynne was born and raised in Southern California and, after spending several years in the Midwest and South, she now calls Seattle, WA her home with her partner and pup. She works in tech by day and writes stories about big magic, big worlds, & even bigger feelings by night. A biracial Black author passionate about mental health advocacy, most of her stories feature characters tackling hardships both inside and out. Above all else, she strives to create stories that make people feel seen. Aside from amongst the favorites gracing your shelves, her writing can also be found in both Curl and People Magazines.
Stories have always been a part of who I am. Growing up, I was a sensitive kid and the world sometimes felt overwhelming leading me to turn to books for comfort and escape. I was captivated by the way stories could transport, connect, and inspire, offering a safe space to process my feelings and imagine endless possibilities. Writing became my way of making sense of the world, exploring emotions, and creating new realms where others might find the same solace and inspiration I did. It’s the perfect blend of creativity and connection, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
My name is pronounced like Erin (eh-ruhn or air-rin)
First and above all else, finish the book! You can’t edit a blank page, so get to “THE END” before you focus on making it pretty or readable. Second, if you’re looking to traditionally publish (vs. indie/self-publish), be mindful of what the average word count is for books in the genre you’re writing before you start querying agents.
Yes! You can find me on Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Twitter, and TikTok.
