Emily Strempler (she/her) is a queer, German-Canadian, ex-fundamentalist, writer of literary and literary-genre cross-over fiction. She is an intersectional-feminist, anti-colonist, and abolitionist. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including Broken Pencil, The Bitchin' Kitsch, and Agnes & True, and she is a reader at the Baltimore Review.
Born in Winnipeg and raised in a deeply conservative Christian community, she married at eighteen before leaving the church and moving out west. She now lives with her husband of more than a decade—Michif (Red River Metis) bartender and beadwork artist, Jeremy Allard—in the famous tourist destination and infamous party town of Banff, Alberta, inside beautiful Banff National Park. Together, they host the Banff Writers Group.
She is currently seeking representation for a novel.
