Hi! My name is Lily Labella (she/her). I'm from Port Washington, NY and currently living in Brighton, MA.

I'm a graduate student in Emerson College's 4+1 Publishing program, and will receive my Masters in Spring of 2026.

I have experience with several collegiate literary publications; The Emerson Review, SIEVA, Concrete Magazine, and Wilde Press, and I also created four poetry anthologies with the Trident Poetry Collective.

Recently I have been working as an educator and editor for WordPowered's Teens in Print program, a Boston area print and online magazine written by high school students. On the weekends you can find me behind the counter at I Am Books in the North End. 

Other interests of mine include reading, writing, eating dessert, progressive jazz, wearing hats, and asking people if I can pet their dog.
