About Her

Erin Pringle-Toungate

A native of the Illinois Midwest, Erin lives with her husband Jeremy and their three dogs in the Northwest. She has her undergraduate and graduate degrees in English Literature and Creative Writing, respectively.

Her first book of stories, The Floating Order, is published by Two Ravens Press (2009). Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize (in conjunction with W. Craghead); selected as a Best American Notable Non-Required Reading; shortlisted for the Charles Pick Fellowship (2007); honored as a finalist in the Kore Press Short Fiction Chapbook Award (2012); and was awarded an Artist Trust fellowship (2012).

She is finishing her second collection of stories, entitled Midwest in Memoriam. To read some of her work, please see Stories.

All this has been made possible by scholarships from Indiana State University, a fellowship at Texas State University, and support from relatives, friends, and most importantly and enduringly, her husband.
