About



I am Emma Beddington. I'm a freelance writer and have written for Elle, Red, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Metropolitan and O Magazine. I write a monthly column for these lovely people, and sometimes perform things I write with these lovely people. I write a beauty blog for idiots with my best friend, M.

I am currently trying to write a book about Paris, cake, and sad events, which I suppose is just a variation on "death, despair and biscuits".

I also write about:
