About Me

Hi. My name is Emma and I am a UK-based writer and illustrator. I love to read, to draw, and to create stories (especially the strange and fantastical). I specialise in writing fiction and visually creating characters and creatures but am open to new subjects. I also have years of experience proofreading, editing, giving and receiving feedback--helping a project grow to fruition. I am currently seeking new projects on either a freelance or in-house/long-term basis.

Thanks for visiting my Portfolio.
