Emily Smiley

Emily is a Seattle-based Carolina native and a member of the Pacific Northwest Writers Association (PNWA). She volunteers with BARN's Writer’s Studio and is a founder of Content Hospital, a speculative fiction writers, critique, and marketing collective. Her short story, Everything is Fine, is slated to be published with Crows and Cross Keys in early 2025. Her current work in progress, Treading Water, won in the horror category of the 2024 PNWA Unpublished Novel competition. When she’s not giving her readers nightmares, she’s exploring other fantasy/horror cross-genre ideas, putting the final touches on book one of her dark fantasy trilogy, traveling with her husband, or reading.
