Professional Experience

site features older work; just a few of the 100+ freelance articles for publications over about fifteen years (cumulatively), and more searchable on Google, newspapers.com, and ProQuest as "Lynn Ermann" and "Lynn M Ermann" and other projects such as a graphic novel script and flash fiction are floating around the internet; focusing on audio storytelling now so pls find me in the Association of Independents in Radio talent directory where I also share my Soundcloud samples page; I'll put up a more comprehensive site in 2026. I'm currently working on a sound art project and producing two episodes of a history/culture podcast (created by a fellow AIR member) for release in 2026.
