Hi, I’m Em!

I’m a 28 year old lesbian & overthinker from Essex, England. I have a weakness for Thai food, I love taking pictures of the sky, I cry easily, and unfortunately I can’t whistle.

So, what’s Somewhere, Softly?

This is my compassionate corner on the web, and it’s become home for my writing – words that escape me because it’s how I best express myself. Through essays, prose and poetry, I regularly explore themes of travel, queerness, and joy in the things I love.


For paid subscribers, I also publish a series of Monthly Round-ups. By becoming a paid subscriber, you can keep up with what I’m doing each month and further support me as a writer – letting me know that what I’m doing here is of value to you.

How does this work?

When you subscribe, you’ll get notified whenever I publish new posts, by email or the Substack app. You’ll have access to the archive, so feel free to have a browse of my older work.


Please do introduce yourself or let me know your thoughts in the comment sections of my posts, if you wish to – I’d love to hear from you!

If you enjoy my writing and can’t commit to a paid subscription, but you’d like to tip me, you can buy me my favourite drink here:


I look forward to reaching your inbox soon 💜
