Her primary areas of interest are: women’s empowerment, sustainable food systems, racial justice and palliative care. Erin was also the Executive Director of Heritage Radio Network from 2012 to 2016. Lizzy Young founded lizzyoung bookseller in January 2012. She was previously an assistant editor at Gourmet Magazine and a pastry chef before ending up in the rare book world. She believes that culinary books give you a window into the cultural narrative of the specific time and place in which the book was composed and you can currently find her minding her “brick & mortar" book shop, Lizzyoung Bookseller, in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
