Erin Loechner is a New York Times bestselling editor and author who shirks the myth of social media marketing and writes award-winning books the old school way: long walks, steno pads, curiosity, and a cabin in the woods.

Her cutting-edge work has been praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Huffington Post, as well as on the Today Show. Erin, her husband, and their three kids spend their days chasing alpenglow, reading Kipling, and throwing another log on the fire.
