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 work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize (in conjunction with W. Craghead); named a Best American Notable Non-Required Reading; and shortlisted for the 2007 Charles Pick Fellowship.  Her first book of stories, The Floating Order, is published by Two Ravens Press (2009). She is at work on a second collection, tentatively entitled Midwest in Memoriam.

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.
