About Emma Gerts
Emma is an aspiring SpecFic writer currently living in Yass NSW, and is one half of the writing duo who writes under the pen name Alexis Roberts. A certified Horse Girl and book dragon, Emma loves animals, reading, DnD, fantasy, and more than anything, making stories. Originally from the Blue Mountains NSW, Emma moved to the Canberra region in 2022 and in her day job is an academic Librarian at the University of New South Wales.
Because you can't just be a writer these days, Emma and writer-bestie Esme have a podcast called What We Wrote, where they revisit the terrible, angsty writing of their teenaged years and discuss how their writing has developed over time, as well as reviewing books and chatting about writing tropes and whatever's hot on booktok. You can check out What We Wrote on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, or follow us @whatwewrotepodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and Tumblr.
Emma and Esme are planning to self-publish their debut novel together later in 2025, Revelation, which will be the first book in a new adult, urban fantasy series.
