Who she is
Who she is
Emma Rose Thrasher was named after Emma Woodhouse and Rosie Cotton, so she was practically destined to become a book nerd. She was a member of the Young Writers Workshop for four years, where she learned the skills to pursue writing as a sustainable career. Now, she studies writing and music at Covenant College and learns about high-quality Christian art. She loves tea, fresh bread, and deep conversations about theology.
What she writes
What she writes
Emma Rose has been shaped by artists whose creative drive comes from their faith. She loves speculative fiction—classic fantasy like Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and sci-fi staples like Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game—as well as community-driven stories like Wendell Berry's Jayber Crow. Other favorite authors include Andrew Peterson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, Leif Enger, and Daniel Nayeri. She loves the poetry of Milton, George Herbert, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. She works to write well-crafted stories that touch the heart and interest the mind.
Emma Rose is a consciously Christian writer and thinks that Christian fiction has an undeserved bad reputation. Great Christian art has been made for centuries—Michelangelo, Bach, Milton—and this century should be no exception. For her, faith and art are necessarily connected. God delights in beauty, so she works to create it; similarly, God is the Creator, so artists imitate him by creating. By growing in her skill as a storyteller, she hopes to write Christian fantasy novels that are high quality and delight in the world God has created.
