Emily Joy Howard writes fiction in Oakland, California and is a PitchWars alum. She teaches 4th, 5th, and 6th grades in a Montessori classroom bursting with books. When she’s not writing or teaching, she parents, attends cohousing meetings, and joins all available sing alongs.

Emily’s writing is represented by Rebecca Eskildsen at Writer’s House.
