Thanks for visiting my author page. I live in London, UK and when I’m not writing I’m either teaching dance or finding ways to get out and travel. I’m especially interested in slow travel and like to plan itineraries to see how far I can get in Europe within a two week holiday without flying!

A Girl’s Girl is my first novel, out June 2026, and it follows several years of writing flash and other short fiction. In the past my short works have been longlisted for the Bath Flash Fiction Award, Cranked Anvil and Furious Fiction competitions. I was placed as a runner up for the TL;DR Word Herd and I was one of the winners for the Spread the Word ‘City of Stories’ competition. For many of these competitions I was published in the anthologies that followed and I have also been published in a number of online and print literary magazines including Popshot Quarterly, Ellipsis Zine, Lunate and Funny Pearls.

Some of the anthologies I have been published in are available to view and purchase here on Amazon including The Best of Café Lit (Vol 11), The Wanderlust Within, 81 Words and Wrong Way, Go Back (Pure Slush Vol 19).

When it came to writing my first novel, I followed the old advice of writing the book that I wanted to read. Therefore it is stuffed with things I love – travel (of course) plus flawed characters and a dollop of 1990s nostalgia!

I hope you enjoy the book. Find me on Instagram @emmarobertsonauthor to find out about future projects.
