Background

About Erin James

Hi, I'm Erin! I am an intuitive storyteller, experiential marketer, creative visionary, critical editor, and dedicated writer specializing in dynamic lifestyle content. Touting 17 years of content creation, eight years of editorial direction, and five years of small business management, I am currently the Director of Marketing & PR for Ascend Hospitality Group. Prior to that, I was the editor-in-chief of Sip Publishing - the privately owned and operated, female-run magazine publishing house for nearly a decade. Sip is the proud maker of the award-winning Sip and Cidercraft magazines. My first book,"Tasting Cider: The CIDERCRAFT Guide to the Distinctive Flavors of North American Hard Cider," was published by Storey Publishing in 2017 and should certainly be in your personal library. As part of the class of 2019, I was selected as one of Wine Enthusiast magazine's 40 Under 40 for my work in beverage journalism. Not too shabby, eh? Want to work together?
