About Emily

Hello there – thanks for wanting to find out about me.

I love books. I write about them on here, and also for The Spectator, the Guardian, the TLS, Country Life and other publications. When I’m not writing – either about books, or scribbling away at my own novel-in-progress – I work at Daunt Books, an independent bookshop in London.

At least, that used to be the case, these days I am more often to be found playing with (or clearing up after) my toddler Vita and baby Ezra, while mainlining coffee. Hence the lower frequency of blog posts…

I also love walking, and came up with the idea of Emily’s walking book club – a unique way to combine reading and walking, two of my favourite things. We meet monthly to walk on Hampstead Heath; I also run Emily’s walking book club at festivals, writer retreats, and at other private events, like hen and birthday parties – so do ask if you think it might be the thing for you.

If you’d like to get in touch – about sending me a book to review, about Emily’s walking book club, or anything else – then please fill in the form below.
