Courtney Erickson Creative
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Courtney. She had a beautiful imagination and a gift for creative art. One day, a teacher asked her a common question…
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
She thought about her bookshelf and all the beautiful stories and illustrations that filled it.
“When I grow up, I want to be a Children’s Book Author and illustrator.”
Well, after years of hard work, guess what?
She is now a published children’s book author & illustrator!
Courtney lives in the beautiful state of New Hampshire. She is employed at Southern New Hampshire University while completing her Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Media Arts with a minor in Creative Writing. Courtney is the self-published author and illustrator of The Loon of Ayers Lake, a children’s book that is set in a local lake in New Hampshire for readers ages 4 to 8. She plans to continue her self-publishing journey by creating children’s fiction and poetry that celebrate the joy and wonder of nature, with stories inspired by New England’s landscapes, communities, and destinations. She is currently drafting a children’s book called The First Platypus and a series called Zoe Stories, which follows Zoe and her family on many adventures that lead to meaningful life lessons.

Who do I write for?
Picture this: It’s the end of a long, busy day. Dinner is done. Little teeth have been brushed. Pajamas are on. Bath time has been conquered, and somehow most of the water stayed in the tub. The house is beginning to quiet down, and now you’ve reached your favorite part of the night routine: story…
