Emma Simpson Author
Author
Emma is a wild swimmer and award-winning debut author specialising in narrative non-fiction.
Her current book, Breaking Waves, is an exploration into the primal powers of femininity and water, community and nature, with stories gathered from around the world that demonstrate the power of connection and humanity in an increasingly crazy society. Interweaving autobiographical material from the author's life with biographical stories from women she has spoken and connected with, the narrative flows like water as it unfolds in ordinary and extraordinary ways, taking shape through connection and shared story-telling.
Emma met her agent, Edwina de Charnacé from MMB Creative, at a Byte the Book 'Agent's Table' and Breaking Waves is being published by Icon Books on 27 March 2025. Emma is currently working on her next book centring on 'tea' and how we pass down our heritage, rituals and cultures in ways other than words. (Emma is a qualified tea sommelier).
Future offerings include reflections on mothering teens, making mistakes and learning to let go; and a collection of soul stories showcasing the astonishing beauty and simplicity of people’s actions in the everyday.
Emma can generally be found swimming in rivers in a bikini in the snow, drinking tea with friends, or embarrassing her teenage children with her compulsion to talk with anyone she meets.
