Emily Shore

Emily Shore is a MN author with a B.A. in Creative Writing from Metro State University and was a grand prize winner of #PitchtoPublication, which led her to working with literary agents and editors on her anti-trafficking series. Ultimately, she and her agent parted ways and Emily partnered with Clean Teen Publishing for her dystopian Uncaged Series. For every sale, proceeds return to trafficking rescue.\n\nThroughout the years, Emily has connected with rescue organizations and survivors of sex-trafficking and injects truths (not stories) into her books for youth. She loves motivational speaking on the issue of sex-trafficking and always hopes for more speaking events in schools, churches, and libraries. Please contact her on her website - www.emilybethshore.com - to sign up for her newsletter and to sign up to host her at your church or school. Emily has a presentation for teens or adults - one faith based and one more informative. She does not charge but gratefully accepts donations (or opportunity to sell books!). \n\nEmily lives in Saint Paul with her husband and two daughters and her cats Hatter and Bunny.\n\nFUN FACTS ABOUT EMILY: \nThis list gives you a little peek into the crazy brain of this author.
