Hi I’m Emily Malady

Curiosity has always driven me as a person. It’s led me around the world, chasing stories and moments that I try to piece together like a detective’s search for clues. For each new medium that I write for, I strive to weave the narrative of a shared human experience that is messy and chaotic, but singularly beautiful. Whether my stories fit within a feature film script, a full-length play, or are presented through immersive and interactive experiences, the tapestry of stories I tell comes from a deep curiosity and love for the world and the humanity within it.

Whether exploring a fantastical world that inspires awe and adventure or setting characters in the local diner, they frequent every Sunday, a strong, unwavering sense of place and complex characters are integral to everything I write. At my core, I’m a writer who will never get tired of experimenting. I strive to add story into every medium I can dabble in and am constantly looking for new ways to immerse people in the worlds and characters I write.

I enjoy working in narrative design for themed entertainment, games, and immersive experiences.

Experiences and curiosity lead my work, and my goal as a writer is to create meaningful, messy, adventurous, and funny works that reveal the striking beauty of the world and linger on our shared human experience.
