Erin Ganaway is the author of the full length collection of poetry, The Waiting Girl, winner of The Breakthrough Poetry Prize (Texas Review Press) and the poetry chapbook, Memories of Green (Finishing Line Press). Her third full length collection is forthcoming next year. 

A first edition of The Waiting Girl was acquired through the Ruth Geraldine Ashen Memorial Book Fund at Stanford University Library to further student research. It is also carried by Harvard Book Store and MIT Press Bookstore for their carefully curated selection of topics on psychology and cognition. 

Her work has appeared in international magazines and journals and has been mentioned in The New York Times. She has been anthologized in Best New Poets, The Southern Poetry Anthology, and her poetry was selected by former Georgia Poet Laureate, Judson Mitcham, for inclusion in Inspired Georgia. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Hollins University.
