About

Erica Reilly

Hello!

I actually don’t have a thing for flamingos…. but I do love reading and rereading books, starting conversations with complete strangers, group workouts, a good glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and my big extended family.

Born in New Jersey and raised all over, I graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, which I’ve never used. I’ve worked as a writer for NYMEX, Guardian Life Insurance, Lilly Pulitzer, Greenberg Capital, and others. My work has been published in Real Simple and Main Line Today.

I live in West Chester, PA with my husband Brett and our four kids. We spend the summer in Stone Harbor, the next door neighbor of Avalon.
