Eryn Kalavsky (she/hers) is a veteran of the book publishing industry, having built the foundation of her career in publicity, marketing and international sales at HarperCollins Publishers where she led many New York Times and international bestselling campaigns. Prior to joining SLM, she worked as a publishing consultant strategically helping authors and entrepreneurs develop their book ideas while simultaneously growing their brands and engaging their micro-communities. Eryn has an eye for emerging voices and brings a marketing mindset to all her projects.

Originally a Tar Heel from North Carolina, she’s lived in Italy, Martha’s Vineyard, Boston, New York City and now has built a life in Los Angeles with her family. An innately curious person, she is seeking nonfiction projects that dig so deeply into a unique subject that they reveal universal truths about ourselves and society, practical books that inspire a more fulfilling lifestyle and help us grow in our relationships and build community, and those that excite our sense of taste, style, adventure, and wonder. Her specific areas of focus are: narrative nonfiction, cooking, lifestyle, psychology, sports (currently seeking projects in skiing and baseball), nature, spirituality, wellness, humor and pop culture. She is always partial to projects with a southern sensibility or a west coast vibe.
