Black and white portrait of author Emily Strempler

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 the Bitchin’ Kitsch, New Critique, and Agnes & True.

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) bar manager 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.
