Author Information
Erin Yun is the author of the bestselling AAPI middle-grade series Pippa Park, which includes two titles: Pippa Park Raises Her Game (Book 1) and Pippa Park Crush at First Sight (Book 2). She received her BA in English from New York University and her Masters in Creative Writing from Cambridge. While at NYU, she served as president of its policy debate team. This experience came in handy when she worked as the debate consultant for the Tony-nominated Best Play on Broadway--What the Constitution Means to Me. She created the Pippa Park Author Program, an interactive writing workshop that she has conducted both in person and virtually at schools, libraries, and bookstores. Folks can tell she grew up in Texas by how often she says ""y'all."" And yes--she used to play basketball as a middle grader!
