Emily Donoher

Hello darling, I am Emily, a 21-year-old girl residing in Manchester, studying English and Creative writing. I am the author of two (pubescent) poetry collections, Metamorphosis and My Smoke and Wine, and the author of the non-fiction book, The Recovery Journal. When I'm not working on my first fiction novel, you can find me writing in the warm burrow of my bed (I won't pretend I go to pretentious coffee shops). My writing explores themes of girlhood, grief, female desire and sexuality; so run free among this site, and most of all, have fun!
