My non-fiction books are published in the UK and Japan.
"Digging beneath the depressing statistics and grinding poverty, Emmins' is a more than human portrait" Dazed & Confused

For my latest book '31 Days - A New York Street Diary' I lived homeless and penniless in New York and gathered raw and incredible portraits of life and survival on the streets of New York City.
"Salty, sassy, non-stop running off at the mouth commentary!" the Times
I also did a similar project recently in London for Time Out Magazine, you can read that here .
"An absolutely fascinating book!" Robert Elms - the BBC
My articles can be found in Time Out London, Dazed & Confused, Playboy, Arena, GQ and many others.
