Erika Friedman

Biography

I write novels, novellas, and short stories. My fiction is primarily character driven and ranges from real-world explorations to fantasy and science-fiction settings. I began writing when I was a young child and started a novel when I was in middle school. I worked on this for several years until realizing my writing had changed and matured enough in the writing process that it necessitated rewriting the entire novel, which was then over 360 pages long and incomplete. Deciding to put this project on hold, I began to explore the art of short stories.
