Emma Madden was born in Reading, England, and studied English Literature at the University of Sussex. After launching their freelance writing career from an attic in Brighton, Madden now writes and resides with their wife and a puckish King Charles Cavalier in Los Angeles. They write about music, digital culture, subcultures, and sometimes dogs for both print and online publications, including regular bylines in the New York Times, New York magazine, GQ, the Guardian, Pitchfork, and countless others. Still in their goth phase, Madden enjoys sulking and moaning about the world's wretchedness while listening to Joy Division.
