Emily Forney

Emily Forney is, as she likes to say, a professional fangirl.

From the early days of crafting fiction prompts on Tumblr to writing miniseries on how to write a successful fantasy battle scene, she fell in love with the minor details of storytelling.

After receiving her MFA in Creative Writing, emphasizing in commercial and upmarket fiction, she worked in editorial roles for both digital and print until she realized she wanted to stay with her favorite authors throughout their careers.

She was named a 2022 Publisher's Weekly Star Watch honoree and was previously a publishing and editorial fellow for the LA Review of Books, where she trained with her editorial background to shift into agenting and find new, progressive voices.
