Hello! Welcome to my profile. My name is Emily.

I'm a college student and am in my last year before completing a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. I'm in the honors college and am also minoring in Christian Studies.

The first thing you need to know about me is that I really love books, writing, and the English Language. I copy edited two novels in 2016, have an internship writing book reviews for an online magazine, assisted an instructor at a writers conference, voiced several characters in an as-yet-unreleased audiobook, wrote over 160 book reviews (and 400 posts) on my blog Zerina Blossom's Books, assisted in social media street teams for over 10 books, beta read four novels, had an internship with a publishing company, read hundreds of books in my short lifetime, and have contacts with dozens of minor authors, bloggers, and book promoters. Basically, if you need book suggestions, a book (or product) review, an article written, book marketing ideas, blog help, copy editing done, or nearly anything else that has to do with books and writing, I'm your girl.

Aside from that, I love learning and I have dozens of hobbies. I love history, nature science, and ironically, math. I love to travel. I want to learn Spanish, ASL, and Japanese. I adore singing, theater, and dance, and I want to brush up on my skills at some point. I have lots of childcare experience.

And these are my arts and crafts hobbies, which you are welcome to contact me about: macrame and friendship bracelets; cross stitch; henna; scrapbooking and card making; basic digital design; sewing; knitting and crocheting; tatting, as in, old-fashioned lace making; sewing; beading; and a couple different drawing art forms. I love anything that has to do with paper (layering, cutting, folding, gluing, drawing, writing) or string (thread, yarn, wire). I want to learn about photography, web design, calligraphy, cake decorating, and making things with clay. I'm always interested in learning artsy things and can pick up new things super easily.
