Whether you want to know what protocols are in place at royal occasions, what titles each royal holds or what beautiful outfits they’ve just stepped out wearing, she’s got you covered. Royal traditions and history are particular areas of interest for her and she covered King Charles III’s coronation live in 2023, as well as the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Alongside putting her royal knowledge to good use with insightful evergreen and news pieces as she covers the Royal Family’s latest appearances, Emma is a huge fan of crime dramas. Whether it’s classics like Midsomer Murders and Silent Witness or the latest release on the BBC or ITV, Emma is sure to dive right in. She uses her expertise in entertainment pieces that answer fans’ burning questions about new shoes, whether it’s explaining a complex ending or revealing all we know about the future of a hit series.
When she’s not writing about the next unmissable show to add to your to-watch list or delving into royal protocol, Emma enjoys cooking (anything with cheese is a plus), long walks and watching yet more crime dramas!
Before she joined Future, Emma graduated from the University of Warwick with a degree in English and Comparative Literary Studies and studied everything from Victorian poetry to modern classics before starting out her publishing career in the world of books. She worked as a Publisher for an independent digital publisher specialising in back-list and debut commercial and literary fiction novels.
Alongside her work bringing brilliant stories to the widest audience possible, Emma filled her spare time with reading the latest best-sellers and enjoying plenty of hit shows. In 2017 she joined TI Media as Fiction Writing Coordinator on Woman’s Weekly and Woman’s Weekly Fiction as part of the features team.
