Emily Winslow lives in Cambridge, England. She’s the author of a Cambridge-set series of crime novels (The Whole World, The Start of Everything, The Red House, Look For Her), the memoir Jane Doe January, and a writing book called Time to Write. Her books have been published by Random House, HarperCollins, Allison & Busby, and Shanghai Translation Publishing House, and have been called “brilliant” (The Washington Post), “vivid” (Parade magazine) and “dazzling” (Shelf Awareness).

“Emily Winslow is a precise and expert analyst of the darkest parts of the human psyche.” -internationally bestselling author Sophie Hannah

Emily trained as an actor at Carnegie Mellon University’s elite drama conservatory and earned a master’s degree in museum studies from Seton Hall University. For six years she wrote for Games magazine, creating increasingly elaborate and lavishly illustrated logic puzzles, and for seven years taught for the University of Cambridge at beautiful Madingley Hall, culminating in being the Course Director for Cambridge’s MSt degree in Crime & Thriller Writing. Now she teaches for Cambridge Creative Writing Company with magical realism and fantasy novelist Menna van Praag. Emily lives with her husband and two sons in Cambridge, England.

“For Winslow, the story is central….Everyone has a part to play, every voice counts, every viewpoint is important, and no one person is the star. Winslow uses this literary device to convey the unreliability of memory, the potential incoherence of differing points of view and the challenging process of piecing together the disparate pieces of a puzzle….[She’s] a sophisticated storyteller with compelling and unsettling books.” –Rosalind Esche for Dear Reader
