Hello!

I’m Emily. I live in an old house in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with my partner, Jordan, and our two cats, Phoebe and Louise. My jobs are making coffee and making art, and when I’m not doing either of those two things, I’m probably reading, writing, listening to music, walking around outside with my camera, or knitting.

Oh, and I overthink everything.

My newsletter, Emily in Her Head, is about books. And also music. And movies. And pop culture, and current events, and crafting, and poetry (I write a haiku every day), and food, and how beautiful the sky is. And how all of that weaves together, and what it makes me think about.

I hope you will maybe recognize a bit of yourself here. I’m glad to have you. ♥︎
