I'm Erin Watson. I read, write, bike, and breathe in Chicago. The party popper is my favorite emoji: I aspire to be a tiny, powerful cone full of confetti in human form, cheering on my pals' achievements and my own enthusiasms. Drop me a line and let's chat about books, beverages, bicycles, birds, or whatever else comes to mind.
Co-hosting Tuesday Funk, an eclectic multi-genre monthly reading series where I deliver a new highly specific toast every month.
Reading a good book from my public library or my overcrowded shelves.
Volunteering in solidarity with incarcerated people at Chicago Books to Women in Prison.
I love zines! I've made 'em about Moomin characters as tarot cards, my favorite grocery store, dreams, the North Carolina state toast, and my dog's ratings of Mountain Goats songs, to name a few. You can find zines I've made at Uncharted Books or Quimby's in Chicago. I loathe doing capitalism but I'm always up for trades.
