My name is Emma Pritchard and I’m very happy to introduce myself as the newest member of the Clarence Valley Independent.  

I’m a born and bred Grafton girl who kicked off my media career at The Daily Examiner in 2011. I spent the next three years working as a journalist and features writer. I also wrote a weekly column, Girl Talk, which appeared in Coastal Views. Do you remember me yet? 

Writing has always been a passion of mine, especially creative writing. I love inspiring, entertaining and educating people through my work and I’m stoked to have been given the opportunity to do it again. 

I love exploring the Clarence Valley, visiting the local pubs for a counter meal and a coldie and supporting local businesses. Our community is full of unique characters, each one with a story to tell. I can’t wait to begin sharing them with you again.
