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.

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.
