Emma Lowther took part in the London Writers Awards in 2021. Now, the cover for her debut novel Fellow Creatures, set to be published in May 2026 by Quercus, has been revealed.
Set in an elite drama school, Fellow Creatures is a dark academia exploration of friendship and ambition set within the hallowed walls of a prestigious drama school. Based on the author’s own experiences growing up at university, Emma trained in performance at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Agent Rachel Neely said that she has a “voice that captured me from the very first page. I have always loved campus novels but I adore how Emma has brought something fresh to that space with an unusual setting and a brilliantly unsettling protagonist.”
