Emily Gillespie is a senior at Missouri State, studying Creative Writing, and she's the Philanthropy Director of Creative Writing Club! Emily has studied many things, but only writing allows her to explore the human experience in all of its breadth and depth. Emily enjoys writing fiction, memoir, comics, even poetry and was invited to present her paper on Forrest Gump (the book) at Missouri State's Undergraduate Literary Conference last spring. She's engaged to be married to the love of her life and is a dog mom to two beautiful, mischievous huskies, Ridley and Raphaelle. Emily hopes to inspire our members and organize opportunities for us to get out into the community and share our love and knowledge of the craft.
