HI, I'M EMMA

A Brooklyn based editor who reads for the butterfly moments.

I've spent most of my life kicking my feet in the air, a book in hand. Those butterfly moments, the ones that make us wail and flail, are the reason I decided to become an editor. My goal is to help capture that energy and participate in the creation of something magical.
