About
Hi there – thanks for stopping by! I’m Emma your Muddy Devon Editor; people-loving, connection-making, life-story-swapping kinda human (and yes, a proud oversharer). Give me a coffee and five minutes and I’ll probably know your life story – and happily tell you mine too.
A former TV producer turned talent manager, I’ve spent the last ten years running my own agency, managing celebrity and influencer clients. I swapped London life for Devon (best decision ever) and now, alongside running my business, get to do what I’ve always done for fun – nosey around, meet brilliant people, and uncover the very best things happening locally… except now it’s officially my job.
I’m also a girl-mum to one (she’s five), a charity shop magpie, and permanently on the hunt for a great flat white, top-tier pastries, and anything worth leaving the house for. Think countryside walks, saunas, sea dips, long lunches, and sniffing out Devon’s best-kept secrets. I’m here for all the good stuff – and always ready to share my latest finds.
I really do hope you love reading the site; please tell your friends about it, and sign up for my fabulous free posts delivered straight to your inbox. You’ll then be the first to know about all the cool stuff happening in your area!
This is the Muddy Mantra, so you know what to expect:
- I try everything out myself so that you can fully trust my opinions. On the occasions that I haven’t been somewhere myself, I let you know that’s the case.
- I don’t write advertorial. This means I will never accept payment to write about something I don’t believe in.
- I accept tickets to free shows, festivals, restaurants, events etc with the purpose of reviewing or publicising them on Muddy Stilettos, as I’m sure you appreciate it’s pretty expensive zipping around trying stuff out all the time. Hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars – if you want me to try you out, please get in touch at: emma@muddystilettos.co.uk or via Instagram @muddydevon.
- I’ll never write a nasty review. I’m not into trashing people, brands or companies. But if you’re not good enough, I won’t write about you in Muddy Stilettos, regardless of whether I have paid for the experience or not. This gives me the editorial control I need and the trust that my readers demand.
- Muddy Stilettos is a commercial site and accepts advertising and payment to feature products and brands. However, we believe passionately in only working with brands that share our ethos and are relevant to our readers. We retain editorial control and independence at all times.
