Meet Emma

Emma's love for all things reading and writing started young.

She wrote her first memoir at age 7 (garbage), fell in love with romance novels at 13, and authored a rollicking historical time travel romance before she graduated high school (also garbage).

Fortunately, that young writer found herself some excellent writing and English teachers, and eventually became a professional writer, journalist, and editor -- with an MFA in Creative Writing to prove it! Her work has appeared in The Bend Magazine, Military Families Magazine, and Reserve & National Guard Magazine, and on Poets.org.

​

She holds a B.A. in English from Centre College in Kentucky, and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Old Dominion University, where she was a Perry Morgan Fellow and Nonfiction Editor for Barely South Review literary journal.

​

Though primarily a narrative nonfiction writer, she still devours romance novels like they're candy.
