Ai-Liang Emmarentia

Ài-Liáng Emmarentia, from Stretford in Johannesburg, South Africa, began her journey into novel writing in 2012. What started as a brief idea soon evolved into a deep-seated passion. Writing became a sanctuary for her during the uncertain transition into adulthood. Within two years, she completed a rough draft, initially viewing it as amateurish. However, as time passed and life unfolded, that initial concept matured into a cherished ambition: to see her novel published. Writing has remained a steadfast companion, guiding her through personal growth and self-discovery. Immersing herself in literature, she has read works by authors such as Ann Brashares and Terrence Blacker. The library, once her refuge, played a crucial role in honing her editing skills and fostering a profound love for language. Today, her continued engagement with words reflects the invaluable lessons learned from her novel-writing journey.
