Emily is a native of Boulder, Colorado, currently living in Glasgow, working as a freelance writer. She did a degree in psychology from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, before she moved to the UK for more degrees, completing an MA in the history of science at Durham University and then a PhD in historical geography from the University of Glasgow. Her PhD examined the history of madness and of psychiatric provision in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. After a couple years spent discovering that postdocs in history were as rare as wolves in Scotland and working as a freelance horse trainer, she went back to uni for an MSc in journalism at Strathclyde University.
When not writing, she can be found on a horse, a river, or a mountain.
