Emma’s most recent publications are ‘Capturing the subject: Virginia Woolf’s Battle with Biographical Boundaries’ in Fear of Theory (Brill Academic Publishers, The Netherlands, 2021), and 'Atkinson, Nancy (1910-1999)', published in the Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) in 2022.
"As a writer, I really value Emma's reflections on writing as they contribute to creating atmosphere in the room. I also love being able to separate myself physically from my workspace and be elsewhere to do the writing, whatever it is. This gives me the excuse to not care about email or 20 million other things that I must do or should have done."
"The structured reason to put an out-of-office on my emails and focus on writing. My role involves a lot of short-notice matters and annexing time can be challenging. These sessions are wonderful for me."
"Dedicated time to write; non -judgment when taking breaks; camaraderie of other people there."
