They are a member of the planning team for the Festival of Literary Diversity, a faculty member at the Manuscript Academy, and a literary agent at Westwood Creative Artists. They are a queer, trans, non-binary colonizer originally from Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland), now based in Tkaronto (Toronto, Ontario).

emmy lives with their partner, a Deaf Dalmatian named Pavot, and two formerly feral Maine coon cats, Whisper and Willow. They keep busy with vegan cooking, thread painting embroidery, crochet, wholesome video games, snail mail, their sticker collection, and… obviously, reading.

Murder is their comfort read.
