ABOUT EMMA

Emma Ilene is a fantasy writer, who prefers fantastical worlds to her own. She reads, writes, and complains (just not always in that order). While she was a born and raised Californian, she now resides on the East Coast where she pretends to be a real adult.

She is represented by Alex Land at Mad Woman Literary Agency.

ILENE’S WRITING IS “RAW AND GRITTY—FULL OF A HEART-WRENCHING KIND OF DEPTH, WHILE STILL GIVING US ENOUGH LIGHT TO CLING TO.”
