ABOUT ME I’m a dancer, writer, and PhD candidate in Literature at Northwestern University. My writing has appeared in the New York Times, Times Literary Supplement, Los Angeles Review of Books, and BOMB Magazine, among other outlets. My research is on illness and disability in Renaissance literature, and I tend to write about the politics of health and illness.
As an editor, I’ve worked on the editorial board of an online magazine, copyedited catalogues and wall texts for museums, coached and typeset self-published memoirs, and worked through many academic journal articles. My priority is always protecting the specificity of your voice while making sure your ideas are able to shine: I’d love to work together to help you find clarity and ease in your writing.
TESTIMONIALS
“Emma is genuinely gifted at giving feedback and doing editorial work. Working with her on my dissertation chapters, I gained immensely from the gentle efficacy of her interventions — somehow she knew exactly what my writing needed even though my research topic was unfamiliar to her. She always asks great questions, and working with her it was easy to feel like someone was truly interested in what I had to say.”
“She really met everyone where they were at in their writing journey, helping all of us to grow as writers while keeping things interesting.” -Undergraduate Writing Student
“Feedback…was incredibly detailed and constructive. Instead of vague comments, Professor Cohen provided insightful critiques that helped me improve my writing in meaningful ways. They pointed out both strengths and areas for growth, making their feedback not only helpful but also motivating.”
