Miss A Columnist

The product of a childhood raised on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, Erin Miller's country sensibilities bring a dose of humor and imagination to her writings. At 11 Erin was awarded the Blue Ribbon for her chicken, Abigail, at the Jefferson County Fair giving her an early taste and penchant for fame, notoriety and the finer things in life.
Formerly a freelance writer for Daily Candy, Seattle; Erin makes it her mission to unearth a city’s best kept secrets to keep her readers in the know. Her industry experience has run the gammit from wedding planning, fashion, music (she dated the lead singer of a band for a minute) and nonprofits.
Now an event planner and marketing professional Erin spends her free time contributing to causes she loves, searching for a decent cup of coffee and catching up on 22 years of vitamin D depletion. She has a keen eye for kitsch (and crap) and can’t resist a good deal. She loves kids and puppies and while she has none of her own, she IS the proud owner of too many dresses and not enough pairs of pants.
