Hello! I’m Amanda Emms and I like to tell stories. Summer is my season, and plants are my passion, and I get a lot of satisfaction between frequent library strolls and updating my Goodreads account.

I worked in film for a while and then I got a communications degree. Now I’m a freelancer with a bit of free time. I’d like to use this space to polish my scratchy journal entries and share all those Word documents.

Essays + Stories features a lot of personal pieces and a few that I imagined.

So many of us turning our homes into little jungles these days, and People’s Plants is a space to explore that joy. Welcome <3
