SWIFT, Emma
E J Swift is a writer and novelist who specializes in Science-Fiction and fantasy. Emma spent eighteen months living and working in Paris before returning to London to complete the MA in Creative Writing programme at Royal Holloway.
During this time she wrote her novel OSIRIS, about a futuristic ocean metropolis whose citizens believe they live in the last city on earth.
The story follows the interlocking paths of a third generation climate refugee, and the architect’s granddaughter Adelaide. Emma is now beginning work on a second novel which will explore the world outside OSIRIS. Radically altered by climate change, the northern and southern hemispheres have become two entirely separate entities on either side of a vast desert belt. In this world, Osiris is known as “the lost city”.
Emma is currently working on a magical realism novel set in past, present and future Paris.
Emma also transcribes the adventures of Super Falcon, a peregrine with an inflated sense of self, in his blog. Super Falcon uses the writer purely for marketing purposes.
