Erika Berlin

Erika Berlin is a disco ball enthusiast, a pop culture addict, and a fan of pretending low-brow TV shows are educational. She is a Midwestern New Yorker who, like Rory, grew up as a voracious reader (Erika also devoured—and loved—Anna Karenina as a teen), and she frequently curates Little Free Libraries in her area as a hobby. She is a contributing editor at Ad Age and does PR and marketing for the Greenwich Library in Greenwich, CT. Previously she was a staff editor at Mental Floss, Rolling Stone, and Cosmopolitan, and her work has appeared in Smithsonian, Entertainment Weekly, Refinery29, the History Channel show Crazy Rich Ancients, and various iHeartMedia podcasts, among others. She lives in Westchester, NY, with her husband and two sons.
