Emma Whitehall is an autistic author and bookseller from the North East of England.

​

Emma is passionate about writing exciting, funny fantasy novels for Teen readers that are Queer, Northern and Neurodiverse. A reviewer for Heretical called her book ‘a Saturday morning cartoon’ and it was the proudest moment of her career.

​

Emma also writes articles about books and writing, and has been featured in The Bookseller and Mslexia magazine.

​

When she’s not writing, Emma works at the bound in Whitley Bay (part of Forum Books); an award-winning independent bookshop where she spends her time getting overly excited about new releases and drinking a ridiculous amount of hot chocolates. She also runs the bound’s YA Book Club.

​

Clockwork Magpies was published in 2022, and Heretical in 2024, both from Northodox Press
