An Introduction
“One must always be careful of books,” said Tessa, “and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”

Hello!

I’m Emma, a first year creative writing and publishing student. I’m eighteen years old and an aspiring author. I write both contemporary and fantasy, mostly in the YA genre, though I’m not opposed to writing adult fiction!

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

I have a bookstagram with a few of my friends @libraryofvelariss
And a Goodreads where I’ll also post my reviews!
I’ll be using this blog for book reviews and bookish item/item boxes reviews! I’ll also have a direct feed to mine and my friends’ bookstagram! If you enjoy books or reading I hope you’ll like my feed! Don’t forget to subscribe to get notifications when I post a new review!
Have a Happy New Year! See you in a few days with a review!
