Dr. Emily C. Friedman is an associate professor of English at Auburn University and Director of 18thConnect.org. Her next book, Before Fanfiction: A Literary History of Alternative Circulation in the Age of Print, tells the stories of authors who chose to share their work outside of commercial print, from Austen's juvenilia to modern fanfiction. Dr. Friedman brings her deep love of the eighteenth-century, fan studies, and textual technologies to her study of game narratives.
