About Me

Erin Jones is a freelance writer in the Washington D.C. area. She holds a B.A. in English from Hood College, and an M.A. in English from Middlebury College. She split her graduate work between Middlebury’s Bread Loaf campus in Ripton, Vermont and Oxford University. After graduation, she returned to Oxford twice, once on a medieval art history grant and once to study choral composition. She is constantly scheming a plan to return to the city of spires.

As a private school teacher for nearly a decade, she wore many hats over the years. Teaching included Integrated Humanities, English, Literature, American History, P.E. Public Speaking, Creative Writing, Theater, and Fencing.  Coaching including Cross Country, Cheerleading, and Middle School Soccer.

In 2018, she completed the translation and resetting of an early oratorio by composer César Franck based on the book of Ruth, and produced its English world premiere as a fundraiser for refugees. She left teaching in 2019 to work in the sacred music world, before launching Galvanize and Grow Copywriting in 2023.

She lives in the D.C. area with her guinea pigs Hugh and Gilbert, and also enjoys cooking, theater, dance, choir, reading, walking in nature, travel, wine tastings, and D.C. adventures with friends.
