Erin P.T. Canning

Romantasy books that blend of fantasy, adventure, and romance as her characters explore other cultures, forge unlikely friendships, and discover their hidden strengths.

Erin always wanted to be an author.

For 20 years, she worked as an editor and book coach, teaching other writers how to untangle their jumbled ideas and finish their stories with confidence.

After postponing her own dreams, she finally took herself off the shelf and turned her author dreams into reality.

For as long as she can remember, her imagination has been her safe place—a never-ending adventure of traveling to far-off lands, finding people who believe in her potential, and being the hero.

By giving herself permission to be imperfect, she finished her own draft and released Ruins and Redemption, the first in her fantasy romance series, in 2023.

Now, she spends her days helping other writers become authors and her evenings crafting a blend of fantasy, adventure, and romance as her characters explore other cultures, forge unlikely friendships, and discover their hidden strengths.

She earned her BA in Literature from The American University and MA in Writing from Johns Hopkins University, and she lives with her husband and their two boys in Maryland.
