About Emma
Emma lives on the NSW South Coast, delights in standing barefoot on floorboards warmed by sunlight, understands the joy of growing sunflowers alongside blueberries and believes that cooking for others is a privilege. Her favourite childhood haunt was the school library and she later worked in some so she’d be home for her two children outside of school time. Once they grew up, she worked elsewhere.In 2005, when her job was abolished, she examined old school reports to see what inspired her before adult life took over. Her wonderful teacher said that, aged six, ‘she was an avid reader with a most expressive, effective vocabulary who wrote well, with creative flair’. She was destined to be an author!After studying editing, short story, creative writing and professional children’s writing, Emma’s stories and novels gained places in competitions. Her creations were snapped up by publishers, with her first novel published in 2012. Since then, she’s enjoyed providing various forms of Writing Help to hundreds of people.Though she ponders lots without concluding anything, she’s realised she could live happily without chocolate. Yes, really. She feels a jolt inside when a bird flies into a windowpane, thinks dictionaries are beautiful books and hopes the sky never falls down.
