My name is Emily and I write children’s literature-- mostly between the absurdly early hours of 4:30-6:30 AM. (Silence? Check. Coffee? Check.)
After an 11-year career as a physical therapist, I turned my attention to my passion for writing for children. For the past several years, I have immersed myself in the writing community and have various memberships and awards mentioned below.
When not reading or writing, I enjoy scaling rock walls both indoors and out, as well as doing flips, spins, and handstands in my AcroYoga class! I live in Connecticut with my husband, son, and far too many houseplants.
Thanks for stopping by my page!
My style for children’s picture books is varied. I enjoy writing in both prose and rhyme, but rhyme is my passion! I want adults to enjoy reading my books as much as the child enjoys listening. My goal when starting any new work is to make sure the words I put down on the page are one or more of the following:
Humorous
Heartfelt
Nature-oriented
Engaging
Entertaining
Relatable
Memorable
Unstoppable
