Hello!

I'm Em! (they/them)

I make stories and illustrations with heart <3.

My first picturebook, Kip and the Squiggledoodle, comes out with Farshore / Harper Collins on May 8th 2025. It’s an adventure story that touches on staying with difficult emotions and handling change.

I love making work that sparks conversations about how we can understand and share our emotions better, and after years working in statistics, have finally found a career where that's actually encouraged!

I live by the sea, which is a constant source of creative inspiration (but, really, the best thing about it is having moonlit picnics on the beach with Squiggledoodles!). 

My literary agent is Lorna Hemingway at Bell Lomax Moreton.

I’m on Instagram @em.cosh. Come say hi, or get in touch with this form.
