Writer

Emily Johnson has always been a lover of animals and all things content. Growing up with numerous cats and dogs, riding and owning horses for 20+ years, volunteering at any animal shelter or pet event — it’s clear that animals are a significant part of her life. Having a career around her love of writing and her passion for furry (or feathered, or scaled) friends is a dream come true. Emily currently resides in North Carolina with her fiancé, their rescue dog, Goose, and their two cats, Zoey and Nugget. You can typically find her at her desk (with a cat in her lap and a Diet Coke in hand), enjoying the outdoors with her pup, or reading a book while enjoying a glass of wine after work.
