Bio

Emma G. Rose is a Maine author, podcast host, and publisher. She intended to be an intrepid girl reporter like Nellie Bly, until the Christmas Eve she spent on a riverbank waiting for rescue divers to pull a body from the water. That’s when she realized she had other stories to tell. Emma founded Imperative Press in 2018 to publish her first novel, written in response to a family tragedy. Four books later, she hosts the Indie Book Talk podcast, exploring the expanding world of indie books for readers and writers. She also visits schools and libraries, talking to high school and college students about mental health and writing.
