Hello! Welcome to the online portfolio of Emily Mills.
I am a writer, editor, social media manager, musician, photographer, actor, and event organizer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My current main gig is serving as Editor of Our Lives, Madison’s “LGBT&XYZ” magazine, printed six times a year and available for free by mail subscription or around town. I also write a weekly opinion column for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and field extremely colorful email responses as a result. My current musical gigs are as a drummer/singer with the bands Damsel Trash and Meghan Rose & the Bones, and Little Red Wolf (though we’re mostly on hiatus). I’m also the former co-editor of Dane101.com – an independent media outlet that served the state of Wisconsin for eight years.
My writing and photography work has also appeared in The Progressive, Isthmus, Dane101, Wisconsin People & Ideas Magazine, Our Lives Magazine, 77 Square, Wisconsin Gazette, Madison Magazine, Derby Central, and I’ve had essays and photos published in Cut From Plain Cloth: The 2011 Wisconsin Worker Protests and We Are Wisconsin.

Hi Emily… thought you might want to know that your Starkweather Creek photo is on Huffington Post this a.m. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/17/2013-endangered-waterways-list_n_3097197.html. At first I was trying to figure out how they got MY photo 🙂 … then saw your name.
Good shot! Karen Majkrzak, Carpenter Ridgeway neighborhood.
