Emily James

Emily James is a London-based LGBTQ+ writer. After graduating from the University of Leeds, she spent time living and working in France, Spain, Denmark and the USA before returning to the UK. In 2022, she won third place in the Brick Lane Bookshop Short Story Prize, and in the same year she was awarded a scholarship for underrepresented writers at The Novelry. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found walking her dog on Hampstead Heath, coffee in hand.
