Erinn is particularly interested in working with authors & illustrators who represent historically underrepresented Jewish communities, including (but not limited to): She is always excited by projects that expand the canon, challenge assumptions about what Jewish stories can look like, and invite young readers to see themselves—and their joy!—on the page. 🙂 Additionally, she is extremely passionate about mentoring marginalized authors and creators in the book publishing world. She is open to having conversations with BIPOC, disabled, LGBQT+, neurodiverse, and low-income creatives about breaking through that barrier, whether about Judaism or not.
