Hi, I’m Em!

I’m the creator behind Somewhere, Softly.

I’m from Essex, England. Of course I love writing and reading literature, but I also love to travel and eat Thai food and take pictures of the sky.

You can learn more about me via my writing on Substack. I explore queerness, places, and hope through personal essays and poetic reflections. I love connecting with the community there and hosting collaborations, which is what inspired the growth of Somewhere, Softly.

If you’re interested in hiring me or collaborating on a project, then please feel free to get in touch.

“What makes Em’s work remarkable is her rare and precious interest in promoting connection. Through her writing, collaborations and projects she has been able to create a site where readers feel heard, seen and understood, demonstrating that personal stories can help individuals, uplift communities and raise visibility, all without sacrificing the undeniable quality in her signature prose.”
