Erin Pepler

My guest on this episode is Erin Pepler. Erin is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Today’s Parent, Parents Canada, SavvyMom, Romper, Scary Mommy, MoneySense, Broadview Magazine and more. Her first book, Send Me Into the Woods Alone: Essays on Motherhood, was published by Invisible Publishing in 2022. Writing about the book in the Globe and Mail, Marsha Lederman said that Send Me Into the Woods Alone “is the book I wish I had had as a companion during those early, difficult months and early, difficult years. Because this book is not just instructive and insightful, it is great company. And hilarious.” Erin and I talk about the tricky business of writing a book with two kids underfoot, how her Covid-aware book launch was almost derailed by her getting Covid right before it, and about the messages she receives every day from readers who want to share their own stories. Erin Pepler: erinpepler.wordpress.comMusic: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.
