Erin MacNair (she, her) lives in North Vancouver on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh people in British Columbia, Canada. Her stories are published or forthcoming in many journals and anthologies, such as The Baffler, Augur, The Walrus, Grain, EVENT, december, Orca, The Razor, The Fiddlehead, subTerrain, and others. She’s received several awards for her fiction and non-fiction pieces, check the Awards page for more. Erin will be the Artist in Residence at the North Vancouver Recreation Centre from the fall of 2024 to mid winter 2025. She finished a short story collection with the generous support of the Canada Council, and is now working on a novel.  

When not writing, Erin can be found photographing mushrooms, metal-smithing in her tool-filled woman cave, playing the bass (badly) and ferrying kids to Ultimate Frisbee. She’s a Wisconsinite who has fully accepted her cheese addiction. She also has a B.A. in Art History; useful when the conversation turns towards student debt.
