Emily Henry is a full-time writer, proofreader, and donut connoisseur. She studied creative writing at Hope College and the New York Center for Art & Media Studies, and now spends most of her time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the part of Kentucky just beneath it. The Love That Split the World is her first novel.
Emily Henry spent the first five years of her life in southern California before moving on to the Midwest, where she spent nine years running through poison ivy in Kentucky, four taking angsty pictures next to railroad tracks in Ohio, and four more tromping across frozen lakes in Michigan. In that time she also studied dance and creative writing at Hope College, where she wrote her first very bad book-length thing, and developed an appreciation for the strange beauty of the Midwest.
After completing a writing residency at the now-extinct New York Center for Art & Media Studies, Emily returned to Kentucky, where she now writes and lives alongside her husband and a pit-bull named Dottie. Emily’s work has appeared in The Hairpin and The Toast; The Love That Split the World is her first novel.
