this piece took me 3 years to finish because i wanted to do right by those who shared their stories with me. now that it’s done, i hope i’ve done that.

The Dubliners and The Pogues play "The Irish Rover".

One of the best live performances you will ever see.

Hozier is an unmatched, otherworldly talent. Every song so carefully crafted and every lyric so deeply meaningful. Put this man’s pen in a museum

something i wish i had done more during my undergrad was get more involved with student media, so now that i have a second chance, i’m taking it and and getting to straight to work!

excited to have somewhere to keep writing outside of my academic essays☺️

[emma @emmaechristley]

since starting my program at @EdinburghUni, i’ve gotten involved with the student newspaper @TheStudentPaper writing weekly reviews on new releases

my first two reviews are up now!

@___gabriels Angels and Queens Part 1 https://t.co/F9G9vqVnzE

i hadn’t heard of gabriels when i took this pitch, so this one was fun to explore and learn about a new artist making interesting work

Scrolling social can feel like a hellscape.

But @emmaechristley's found a few brands willing to freeze it over. 👉 https://t.co/So6jaUEktU

[Tyler Heaven @tyler_h3av3n]

Thanks @deathclubpgh and @emmaechristley for the very nice review!

I always like reviews where thematic elements are discussed as opposed to sonic elements. So this is really cool! Don’t worry Cody is fine!

@MeiraGebel would love to hear your tips for developing pitches, networking and connecting with editors and other writers without being annoying! (i know everyone has their own preferences and i want to make a good first impression)

thanks for all you do!

let's talk about @Spotify
*cracks knuckles*

a joy for listeners, fantastic playlisting, a solution to piracy, hated by artists and ultimately a victim of a broken & outdated financial model.

let's dig in...

@FreelancerMagz Hi! I'm new to freelancing, primarily writing about music but interested in arts, tv, movies, and internet culture too. Looking to take on some content writing in the meantime as well. I'm in Pittsburgh now, but moving to Edinburgh in the fall for grad school!

[emma @emmaechristley]

so i'm trying something out. i decided to make a substack to help myself get back into writing regularly and sharing my thoughts. this is really for me, but i would still love if you'd subscribe (for free!) so i'm not just talking to myself online.

I’ve loved this song by @taylorswift13 and @boniver for fucking ages. Here’s me doing my best not to completely ruin it at a piano at the end of last year.
