Emily Gould

Emily and Zareen have been bff since 2004, when they were both working in the editorial department of a publishing house in New York. One day they were bored and they started emailing each other about their favorite YA books and movies. Emily had just finished reading a Gossip Girls book and Zareen had just seen The Craft on tv. They hatched a plan for a book that would combine their favorite aspects of both those things.

HEX EDUCATION was written in Central Park and in cafes all over New York. Nowadays Emily blogs for a living at Gawker.com, while Zareen is an Editor who works on both fiction and non-fiction. They still finish each others’ sentences on a regular basis.
