Yo! My name is Emily-Jane and I am an award-winning author and comedy writer. My funny book series THE BEASTS OF KNOBBLY BOTTOM  was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2024, won a BASH Award and the Fantastic Book Award. I also wrote a humorous survival guide for tired parents called SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. â€‹ My new  book,  the first of a funny and unique series for tweens, CRINGE CLUB-   is out with Simon & Schuster on 31st July 2025!

​

I  also write comedy for television and my work has been featured on The Mash Report, The Jonathan Ross Show, BBC Radio and Mock the Week. My viral sketch A MESSAGE FROM WOMEN EVERYWHERE starring Ellie Taylor is the most viewed video in BBC history. 

​

​In other news. I have been a holiday park entertainer,  a journalist, a gherkin putter inner at McDonalds and I was in a terrible girl band who wore lot  of a leather.   I  once won a pub quiz and got hit by a bus.

“Our children were enthralled with Emily-Jane. She was an inspiration for them all and I have had children approach me multiple times during the week to show me their notebooks that they have started to write stories or songs, or show me their creatures from knobbly bottom that they have created. We cannot thank Emily-Jane enough for the confidence and self-belief that she has implanted in them all. "

Jim Ager, headteacher, Weldon Primary School , Northants

"It was a pleasure to have Emily-Jane and Nan Helsing in yesterday! The kids have been reading her book all through their breaktimes, especially the boys, which is lovely to see."

Tina Milton, Babington Academy, Leicestershire

We had Emily-Jane visit our school on in April. She delivered workshops to two groups of year 7 students. They were really engaged and had a fun time creating their own beasts and enjoyed hearing about Emily-Janes's inspiration for the Beasts of Knobbly Bottom books. We would love to have her back in the future.

Nicola Morris, Sandwell Libraries

Emily Jane  delivered equally inspiring and fun sessions for two very different groups.  The first  had been selected for their hard work and commitment at school, and there were 60 of them! This didn’t phase Emily Jane and she kept them all engaged and it was wonderful to watch how they just became more and more involved with asking questions and interacting as she spoke to them.The second were an older year six group, and you could see that they were more challenging. Again, Emily Jane really picked up on how to adapt the session to keep them engaged and managed to prevent individuals from getting distracted, and being disruptive which was brilliant.
