ABOUT

My name is Emily St. Martin (previously Emily J. Sullivan.) I’m the digital features editor at Southern California News Group, helping to oversee entertainment, dining and events coverage across 11 publications. Prior to that, I worked as an entertainment reporter with the fast break desk at the Los Angeles Times. Before I joined a newsroom, I was an L.A.-based independent journalist. I have also contributed to both podcasts and documentaries, most recently I was featured in Tubi’s “Gone Before Her Time: Brittany Murphy.”

I have penned pieces for The New York Times about dating, motherhood and breaking up fights. I wrote about post-gender fashion on TikTok for InStyle Magazine and about losing one of my best friends to the modern American cyber-cult QAnon for Cosmopolitan. I wrote guides, features and essays about addiction for VICE. Los Angeles Magazine published my piece about drugs, food and Hollywood. I covered medication-assisted treatment, drug policy and addiction for The Fix. I also covered entertainment news, features, style and events for The Hollywood Reporter and People. I spent seven days cooking Anthony Bourdain recipes and wrote about it for Foodbeast. I got my start writing about toxic relationships for HealthyPlace.com and scored a Silver Digital Health Award for my blog which competed with top mental health sites and educational institutions.

I have a BA in Journalism from The University of La Verne and an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of California Riverside. I’ve won four LA Press Club awards for my obituaries and news features.
