About the author

Emily Houghton

Emily Houghton is the author of BEFORE I SAW YOU. She is an Essex girl at heart but now spends most of her time between London and Suffolk. Emily worked in digital product management at Tesco and Barclays for seven years and it was during a sabbatical from work, travelling around India, that her first book was born; the first draft is still written on her phone!


After a whirlwind few months, Emily quit her corporate job to live her dream of writing full-time. A true Gemini at heart, she’s got many interests and is a trained spin and yoga teacher. She has a curiosity for life and has a passion for all things well-being, one day hoping to create her own retreat space with a lot of dogs! Her writing, whilst centering around love stories, often touches on deeper emotional themes such as self-love, healing and the power of finding yourself.
