Birdie

Emily Outcault, known to fans and friends as Birdie, is the award winning author behind Aerial, Inclination, Verboten, and Kismet. She got her start uploading her works to the social storytelling platform Wattpad, where she has amassed a fanbase of over 5.7 million readers.

Quite literally moonlighting as your favorite romance novelist, Emily works as a Montessori preschool and kindergarten teacher by day, and settles into writing the next chapter in her book by night.

What makes Emily’s stories so enthralling is that they’re all about you. From a 1960s circus to a futuristic dystopia, Emily knows exactly how to set the scene. Each of her novels takes you tumbling through time only to spit you out in an era you aren’t from, at the start of a romance you’ll wish wasn’t confined to the page.

Emily resides in Portland, Oregon with her four-legged friend Louis.

The pink envelope

A important chapter in Aerial is the pink envelope, as a homage to this I want to send out the magazine in pink envelopes with the quote stamped on. I would have loved to include a page like this in Razzin’ but my conscious of how much space I am using up.
