Emily Spurr’s first novel, A Million Things, was shortlisted for the prestigious Victorian Premier's Unpublished Manuscript Prize, voted BookBrowse Best Debut Novel of 2021, long-listed for the 2022 Margaret & Collin Roderick Literary Award, Highly Commended for the 2022 Barbara Jefferis Award and nominated for Årets Bok 2026 in Sweden. It has been published in Australasia, North America and the UK and published in translation in the Netherlands, Sweden, China and Taiwan.

Emily Spurr's second novel, Beatrix & Fred, was reviewed by The Weekend Australian as "one the most unique and curious novels of 2023, and that is precisely what makes it one of the best." A wild and darkly humorous tale, it will have you contemplating what it is to be human.

Originally from Tasmania, Emily lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her partner, their twins and the ghost of a deaf geriatric cat.
