Stories written by ecardiffMy name is Emily Cardiff and I’m a writer living in Fair Oaks, CA. I recently decided to make big changes in my life to pursue a career as a writer. I also have an interest in copyediting and proofreading.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Sacramento State University and an AA from American River College. I enjoy a good glass of wine, intelligent conversation, dark chocolate, coffee, cooking, gardening, reading, Wii Fit Yoga and of course, writing. I love being outside when it’s quiet so I can read, write, relax and to be able to appreciate the wonders of nature.
