Emma Macey

Emma Macey is a Melbourne mum-of-two that is passionate about advocating for positive mental health through storytelling. Her first book was 'Matilda and the Bear', a heart-warming story written to normalise feelings of worry, provide simple and effective strategies to relieve them and encourage dialogue around mental wellbeing with young children

Before deciding to write children's books, Emma has been working in the advertising industry, leading agencies, teams and clients in some of the largest media agencies in the country. Emma lives with her husband Chris and two gorgeous daughters, Isabella and Olivia who Matilda and the Bear was originally written for.

When Emma isn't with her family, working or writing you'll likely find her in a local Melbourne cafe enjoying copious amounts of coffee.
