Hi there!
I’m a writer, editor and publisher based in Ontario, Canada. Founder of Pinhole Poetry digital journal and chapbook press, I’m also a member of the League of Canadian Poets, with stories and poetry appearing in EVENT magazine, Contemporary Verse 2, The Fiddlehead, Best Canadian Poetry 2025 (Biblioasis), and others. My debut collection, One by Means of Two will be published by Guernica Editions in 2027.
How can I help?
During my four years as editor and curator of a poetry journal and chapbook press, I have developed the ability to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses in creative work. I am a constant collaborator and advocate for both the art and the artist, and strive to make sure the best version of the work appears on the page. What do you need help with?
What is it like to work with me?
Working with Erin was such a privilege. Her feedback as an editor was concise and meaningful. A natural collaborator with an eye for design, she is producing some of the most engaging and heartfelt chapbooks in Canlit today.

~Laurie Koensgen
Erin Bedford’s dedicated attention to detail, as a publisher, editor, and book designer, is second-to-none and always centres the writer at the heart of that process.
~Rob Madden
Working with Erin was such a supportive and affirming experience. She has a real gift for editing in a way that sharpens your work while still upholding your voice with care and respect. I felt guided rather than directed, and that made all the difference in bringing my chapbook to life.
