Erin Kate Ryan a queer writer living in Hudson, New York. She is the author of QUANTUM GIRL THEORY (Random House, 2022).

Erin Kate inhabits a 250-year-old witch cottage on a hill with her German Shepherd, Amelia Bedelia, and the ghost of Una Troubridge.

EK obsessively works with her hands to make heritage crafts such as willow baskets, hand-loomed textiles, and brooms, and tends a willow patch in the meadow behind her house. From time to time, she also runs large-scale art/life overlap projects, such as her ongoing experiential fictions.

Leaning against her barn wall are degrees from Boston University School of Law and the Bennington Writing Seminars. Her fiction has been published in hundreds of real and imaginary journals, such as Glimmer Train, Conjunctions, and The Normal School. Her fiction has been honored with a Pushcart nomination, fellowships and grants from the Vermont Studio Center, Millay Colony, the Edward Albee Foundation, the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts, Hinge Springboard for the Arts, Wildacres, and the Dickinson House (Belgium). She is a James Jones First Novel Fellow, a McKnight Fellow, and recipient of a Minnesota Emerging Writers' grant, multiple Minnesota State Arts Board Artist's Initiative grants, and scholarships to the Sewanee and BreadLoaf Writers' Conferences.

For nearly 20 years, Erin Kate has consulted for social justice nonprofits and progressive c4s on matters related to fundraising, grant programming, board development, and organizational development.
