My name is Emily-Jane and I am an award-winning author and comedy writer. My debut  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. ​ My new bestselling series, CRINGE CLUB  won the Redbridge Book Award for children's fiction.  The third one is out in July 2026. 

​

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. The two things aren't related.
