I’m Emilie, and I’m currently travelling around Asia with my friend, Taylor. I lived in London for four years studying Creative Writing, and I love exploring new places and meeting new people.

I’m a big animal lover, and have two cats and a dog (which are one of the things I miss most while I’m away!). I recently completed my PADI open water course in Koh Tao which was amazing and one of my favourite experiences during my time away. I’m excited to continue my travels around Indonesia then live and work in Australia for a year.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy loads of music genres, but most of all indie pop/rock.
I love the marvel universe, Disney (especially Pixar), Studio Ghibli, and of course Harry Potter.
My favourite book genre is YA dystopian/fantasy. I’m currently reading the Red Rising saga and loving it 👌

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a Masterclass on writing for children with Jacqueline Wilson and shook her hand (she’s the chancellor at my university) at my graduation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve had work experience at Penguin publishing and can help with proof reading stories or essays. I’m a creative person and love hearing and brainstorming ideas with people. I also worked in a bookshop and can give recommendations on your next read 😊
