About the Writer

Emily L. Pate (she/her) is a writer, writing educator, and collector/over-sharer of obscure facts—the weirder the better. Despite (or maybe because of) being born and raised in California’s sunny San Francisco Bay Area, she has a deep fondness for cold and rainy weather and currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.

She is the recipient of a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and focuses on travel writing and speculative fiction, but dabbles in every medium and genre she can get her hands on (including a teenage attempt at a webcomic). She is currently working on several novels, only a few of which are connected to each other.

In her spare time, she travels, knits, crochets, downhill skis, plays video games, and reads a great deal.
