My name is Emily Hemmings. I wrote my first short story when I was nine years old, and it was so inconceivably bad that I openly wept onto the loose leaf paper I had written it on, which was very dramatic and writerly of me. I did not start writing fiction again until my 30s after taking a science fiction course during my belated attempt at a university degree, a course I mostly skipped to write my first novel, which I self-published, printed and immediately took off the market. I reside in Toronto with two cats and an adult human man.
