emmy has a background in academia, with 11 peer-reviewed publications in the fields of public health and psychology (published under their previous legal name, available upon request). Their publishing journey in creative writing is a more recent endeavour. They are currently focused on developing a body of short works of literary slice-of-life with a touch of the speculative that probe tradition through a queer lens and are laced with emmy’s constant yearning for their home on the rugged North Atlantic island of Newfoundland. Short fiction consultant Anne Elliott has said that emmy’s work gave them Alice Munro vibes, and the adjudication committee of The New Quarterly described it as reminiscent of a Sally Rooney book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
