'I hope the lights are on when we finally have sex so he can see how young I am compared to his wife.'
Emily Slapper grew up in Northampton before studying Cinema and Photography at the University of Leeds.
After graduating she moved to London to work in advertising whilst hoping to one day become a screenwriter. But wanting to write films turned into wanting to write books and so she started a Creative Writing MA at Royal Holloway. Everyone I Know is Dying is her debut novel.
In her spare time she loves walking around South East London with her dog, Tina.
