About Emily

I grew up speaking Mandarin at home and English at school, so I learned early that fluency isn't about grammar. It's about knowing which words feel right in a given moment. That insight shapes everything I do at rwrt.

My background is in computational linguistics - I spent three years at the University of Toronto studying how language models represent meaning differently than humans do. The research was fascinating but felt disconnected from real people. At rwrt, I get to apply that research to a problem people actually face every day: sounding like themselves in a world that pushes everyone toward the same bland, AI-generated sameness.

My editing style is aggressive. I cut more than I keep. Every sentence has to earn its place.

If a paragraph doesn't make the reader smarter, curious, or compelled to act, it gets deleted. I'm not mean about it. I just believe in respecting people's time.

Writing Philosophy

Good writing is invisible. The reader should be thinking about the idea, never about the sentence. The moment they notice the writing, you've failed.

Fun Facts

  • Can read classical Chinese poetry (slowly)
  • Runs a tiny newsletter about language oddities (47 subscribers)
  • Once corrected a professor's grammar during a live lecture

In Emily's Words

Growing up bilingual gave me a permanent obsession with how the same idea sounds completely different depending on the language you think in. That's basically what rwrt does, but with personal voice instead of languages.
