  <about><![CDATA[In elementary school, Erin Dionne wrote complete stories instead of separate sentences for vocabulary homework. Now a writer, editor and college professor, she has published articles, essays and reviews in a variety of venues including &lt;i&gt;The Boston Globe&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Boston Herald&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Horn Book Guide&lt;/i&gt;. Her short fiction has appeared in numerous publications, including the anthology &lt;b&gt;Brevity and Echo&lt;/b&gt;.

Erin has a BA from Boston College in English and Communications and an MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College. The manuscript for &lt;b&gt;Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookes&lt;/b&gt; was named as one of PEN/New England’s 2006 Susan P. Bloom Discovery Night award winners. 

Having survived moving to different states in the middle of elementary, junior high and high school, Erin is now settled outside of Boston with her husband, their daughter, and a dog named Grafton.
