She/Her

About

Em Van Moore is a queer writer, freelance beta reader/critiquer, and nurse from Northern B.C., Canada. She is a founding member of the MWG is best known for being the only extrovert of the bunch (and for her flamboyant hair). She’s a NaNoWriMo 2021 and 2022 winner. In her personal life she is a cat-mom of three and a human-mom of two.

Em has always loved writing but struggled (as many people do) with motivation and execution. Diagnosed with ADHD when she was 29, she found the secret ingredient to productivity: adequate doses of prescription medication.

When the group initially formed in 2021 for NaNoWriMo, she was one of the only members who completed the 50k words in November.

In her spare time she reads, paints, and slowly kills plants by forgetting about them for extended periods.

Her hobbies include: hula-hooping, crafting, prepping, climate activism, volunteering, going to music festivals, and general shenaniganary.

She has a complicated relationship with the Oxford comma, and would prefer no one bring it up because they’re hoping to work things out.
