Emily Hashimoto's debut novel A World Between follows two queer women of color over the course of thirteen years as they grow away from and towards each other. O, The Oprah Magazine said it was a "sweetly poignant look at the transformative power of young love" and Kirkus Review called it a "sweeping debut novel about the ever changing nature of identity and love." Cosmopolitan UK praised it as one of the best books by LGBTQ+ authors.

Emily was a 2024 Lambda Literary fellow for screenwriting. They have been a finalist for multiple screenwriting fellowships, including Soo Hugh's The Thousand Miles Project, Sundance's Episodic Lab, and Fred Rogers Productions Writers' Neighborhood.

Emily's personal essays have appeared in Out, Electric Literature, Catapult, Literary Hub, and The Rumpus, centering intersectional narratives. They’ve received fellowships from VONA, Queer | Art, VCCA, Art Omi, and Baldwin for the Arts. Emily lives with their wife and child in Southern California.
