Erin Silver

I’m a children’s author and with three books available and several more on the way. My middle grade novel, Just Watch Me, is a laugh-out-loud book about social media and video games (Common Deer Press, October 2020). It also deals with serious topics like divorce and bullying. What Kids Did: Stories of Kindness and Invention in the Time of COVID-19 (Second Story Press on October 27) is about the ways kids around the world helped others during the pandemic. Proud to Play: Canadian LGBTQ+ athletes who made history (Lorimer, January 2021), is a non-fiction book about the experience of Canadian LGBTQ athletes in professional sports. I have been writing professionally for nearly 20 years. My work has appeared in everything from The Washington Post and Globe and Mail to Harper’s Bazaar and Good Housekeeping. I have a postgraduate journalism degree and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction. I’m a member of CANSCAIP, SCBWI, IBBY and TWUC. I offer virtual author visits and I'm represented by Hilary McMahon.
