Emile is an exoplanet scientist by day and SFF writer by night, and a lover of storytelling in many forms — science fiction, fantasy, literary fiction; in print, video games, and more. She is a graduate of the Viable Paradise class of 2022. Sometimes, she can be found in the wild sprawl of Southern California, foraging for new food to try. She also plays a lot of instruments poorly, but is decent at one.
