Emilie Tunstill

I'm Em Tunstill, mama-of-two and author from Adelaide.

I've always had a passion for writing. But there's nothing quite like having kids to bring out your inner child, creativity and imagination. In 2023 I pursued my dream of becoming an author. That dream has now become a reality with the release of my debut book, The First Year.

My gorgeous children are my source of inspiration and motivation. Reading stories to them brings me (and them) immense joy. I hope that my book will be shared between a mother and her baby with that same love and connection.
