OMG Pub Date is 11 Days Away
Thank you, Amy Klein, for the pic!
Welp, it’s almost here—Strung Out’s pub day. I am feeling all shades of everything! Here’s a bit of what’s been happening….
This fantastic book review on BookPage, in which the reviewer said: “Erin Khar’s memoir, Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me, is a compassionate account of her illness and will surely be the gold standard for women writing about heroin addiction.”
Also on BookPage, I was one of eight memoirists answering questions about writing our stories.
An interview I did for Our Town NY, with a focus on resilience and hope.
It was a pleasure doing this interview for Bitch Media. The questions were so thoughtful and I love the way it came out.
Lastly, Strung Out was featured in this New York Times article about the new wave of addiction memoirs.
The Feeling of Holding Finished Hardcover Copies of Strung Out...
This was very emotional.
It was surreal to finally be holding finished hardcover copies of STRUNG OUT! These pictures don’t even do them justice. They’re so pretty and I am so grateful to the whole team at Park Row Books and all the people in my love who have loved and supported me through this entire journey.
Finished hardcover copies of Strung Out!
I did it. I wrote the damn book.
If you’d told me when I was in active addiction that one day I’d be 17 years drug-free, holding copies of a book that I wrote, I never would have believed you. I’m so damn lucky.
Young Erin, it’s all gonna be okay, more than okay.
