Emily Strempler (she/her) is a queer, German-Canadian, ex-fundamentalist, writer of inconvenient fiction. Raised in a deeply conservative prairie community, she married at eighteen before leaving the church and moving out west. She is an intersectional-feminist, anti-colonist, and abolitionist. Born in Winnipeg, she now lives with her husband of more than ten years in the famous tourist destination and infamous party town of Banff, Alberta, inside beautiful Banff National Park. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including the Bitchin’ Kitsch, CLOVES Literary, and Luna Station Quarterly. She is currently seeking representation for a novel.
