Hello!

Emily Flynn-Jones is an award-winning multimedia storyteller who specializes in horror and inclusive representation. They are known for carefully crafted, diverse, and queer-inclusive projects that blend together genres and media for truly unique narratives. Their debut game, a semi-autobiographical tale of witchcraft and womanhood, won the National Bank Prize, while their interactive fiction explores themes of body horror, agency, and mental health. Their debut short story collection, Is It Enough Yet?, came out in fall 2024 and the coming-of-rage novella, Rot Grrrl Movement, will be released in February 2027.

Equipped with a PhD on death in interactive narratives, Emily draws together horror, magical realism, romance, and science fiction as they peer into the darker recesses of our cultural landscape and histories. Their passion for narrative includes helping others tell their stories as well, with more than a decade teaching game designers the art of interactive storytelling, and over a half dozen games produced with inclusive teams that tell the stories of their makers or the communities they represent.

Identifying as a feminist killjoy, their work is filled with as much sass and sharp commentary as it is rage and gore.
