About

K. Lin (Emma)

she/they

I am a second-year Comparative Literature student at King’s College London.

I reside in the UK, but grew up with an international background between Beijing, Washington D.C., and London, which gives me a unique global outlook. As of now, I am passionate about academic topics related to contemporary literature, translation, cross-cultural studies, and international relations.

I was named a California Arts Scholar upon completing the Creative Writing programme at California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA), and my work was recognised as one of the top 60 entries by the BBC Young Writers’ Award in 2023. I am currently committed to my role as the President of King’s College London Vocaloid Society since establishing it in 2024, where I'm responsible for character/graphic design, and social media marketing amongst other things.

Feel free to reach out to me by emailing klin20049@gmail.com, or find out what writing/translation projects I've been up to on my personal blog!
