Emma Logan
Welcome.
I’m an author and poet based in Salem, Massachusetts, writing about women who refuse to disappear, women who rise, speak, and set fire to the silence meant to contain them.
My work, spanning literary fiction, historical novels, and poetry, explores resilience, voice, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself. Through fiction, poetry, and essays, I trace how we find our voices after loss, shame, or silence.
I’m currently querying my debut novel Even Then and Daughter of the Gallows, the first in my The Girls They Couldn’t Silence series. Here you’ll find reflections on writing, motherhood, and the alchemy of turning pain into art. I hope you’ll stay awhile and find pieces of your own story in mine.
Featured Works
Even Then
A story of endurance, healing, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.
Daughter of the Gallows
In Salem, 1702, a midwife’s daughter returns to the town that condemned her mother, determined to reclaim her voice.
Bound in Blood and Light
The first book in a sweeping fantasy saga about legacy, love, and the light that survives even the darkest night.
Poetry Highlights
I write poems that explore silence, resilience, and the body as both wound and witness. My work has been recognized as a finalist in the River Styx Poetry Contest, among others.
There is beauty in the broken,
for that is where life is lived fully.
Like the lotus,
rising from the mud.

There’s a certain kind of silence that lives inside women—the kind that isn’t empty, but full.
