Emily Banting is a British author and screenwriter who writes contemporary sapphic romance. Her debut novel Lost in Love hit number one on Amazon’s international charts in 2021, and she has continued publishing at a steady pace since then. Banting is vocal about representing women over forty in fiction and frequently places her characters in historic English settings.
Her two main series are the Nunswick Abbey trilogy, a set of lesbian age-gap romances centered on the ruins of an English abbey, and the South Downs Romances, which feature sapphic celebrity ice queen romances set in the English countryside. Broken Beyond Repair, the first South Downs book, won the Queer Indie Awards 2022 and the Lesfic Bard Award for Romance. Her standalone novel Barging In (2025) takes place along a rural English waterway. Banting publishes through her own imprint, Sapphfic Publishing.
