Emily’s Books

Emily is the author of two award winning creative expression books, both published by Storey Publishing.

Journal Sparks

Using words, drawing, collage, and observation-based list-making, award-winning author Emily K. Neuburger highlights the many paths into journaling. Her 60 interactive writing prompts and art how-tos help you to expand your imagination and stimulate your creativity. Every spread invites a new approach to filling a page, from making a visual map of a day-in-my-life to turning random splotches into quirky characters for a playful story. ​It’s the perfect companion to all those blank books and an ideal launchpad to explore creative self-expression and develop an imaginative voice — for anyone ages 10 to 100!

The cover of Journal Sparks has many hand drawn images including a mouse, a bird, a castle, and writing or drawing utensils. The drawings appear to be erupting from an open book or journal located in the lower right corner of the image.

There are also three images of children cutting paper, writing or drawing with a pencil, and playing with a hand made Story Stone

Show me a Story

Encouraging children to let their imagination run wild, Emily K. Neuburger offers 40 inventive projects and activities that will inspire kids ages 5 to 12 to express themselves through storytelling. Younger children will love making story stones and a storytelling jar, while older kids will open up and thrive as they embark on guided story walks and inspiring journaling exercises. Sparking creativity while developing a child’s love of language, Show Me a Story will kindle a lifelong passion for both writing and telling original stories.
