Emma Young

Emma Young has always traded in words. Armed with a BA in English Literature, she became a bookseller. When the customers finally wore her out, she retrained as a journalist.

She is now a digital reporter for WAtoday, with work regularly appearing in sister publications The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. Her eight wins at the WA Media Awards include the 2018 Matt Price Award for Best Columnist.

After turning thirty, she burst with belated urgency into novel-writing.

Since then, she has been selected for the 2018 Katharine Susannah Pritchard Writers’ Centre 1st Edition Retreat hosted by WA author Laurie Steed, and for the 2018-19 Four Centres Emerging Writers’ Program.

In 2019, her poetry appeared in Landscapes: The Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language and The Last Bookshop was shortlisted for the inaugural $20,000 Fogarty Literary Award.

In 2020, she was shortlisted for the Arthur Lovekin Prize for Excellence in Journalism.

She has two more fiction manuscripts on the go.
