| Introduction | Hello! My Name is Emma, I am a PhD student in 19th Century American Literature and Religion at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have enjoyed writing since I was about eight years old and my education and fondness for watching Youtube video essays has given me a deep love for analyzing the deeper implications of writing and media. I am also a strong Christian and I love to share spiritual insights I have gathered from my reading of the Bible and my studies. My faith in Christ has transformed my life and is something I love to write about. I have eleven wonderful siblings and two amazing parents and they are all a source of joy and encouragement in my life. |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
I think I would start by using the money to pay for things like my education and travel, I also would continue to work in education and writing scholarly things, I think continuing to work as normal would keep me grounded.
