Anna Madeley as Kayleigh Gaines in Hidden

‘does a great job of getting it’s claws into us… a grippingly bizarre case… as a viewer the journey we travel is long, dark and beset with the kind of vicious twists and reverses that leave us reeling’. RADIO TIMES

‘you can always rely on this supremely satisfying crime drama to take an already sensational case and flip it into something so unpredictable even Miss Marple would struggle!’ Pick of the Day, 5 stars, TV TIMES

EastEnders

'During next week's first two episodes - both written by the über-talented Emilia Di Girolamo - Trina's (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) decaying body is found in the summerhouse by her son Jordan.' DIGITAL SPY

KRIS GREEN: Emilia Di Girolamo wrote two excellent episodes for Lucas, the ones when he was trying to prevent anyone from discovering Trina's body in the summerhouse...

DON GILET: "I just do the job and some things might not necessarily leap off the page but with the intervention of directing you find you're playing it and you look back and think, 'Gosh - those are stunning episodes'. You're right, those episodes were excellent. Next time she's in I'm going to give her a nod and say, 'You're helping to make my character look great. Maybe she'll write something special for me when they finally get rid of me - I'll be her muse!"

1000 Fine Lines - stage play

TIME OUT CRITICS CHOICE
Finalist Derek Lomas Playwriting Competition


'Not many plays balance wit and tragedy to such telling effect, whilst keeping the audience on the edge of their seats with chilling mystery. That's why Emilia di Girolamo's new play is such a treat. It is a testimony to the sheer quality of 1000 Fine Lines that the audience feel they are not watching so much as experiencing the intense, humorous and tragic world inhabited by the characters on stage...

...The script twists from laugh out loud wit, to chilling intrigue, to raw emotional
pain all the time holding the audience captive.'

CAMDEN NEW JOURNAL

'Like Gilman, di Girolamo is a crafty story teller...
...Psychological mystery tour.'

Freaky - novel
Published by Spacehopper (Pulp Books)

'Brilliant'... Go out and buy it'
Miranda Sawyer, BBC RADIO

'Crammed with attitude'
THE TIMES

'di Girolamo fashions a fast paced little number'
BIG ISSUE

'Young and feisty author Emilia di Girolamo has given Crouch End the shock
treatment in her first novel, FREAKY. She peels back the middle-class
veneer of Crouch End and lays bare a directory of murder,
prostitution and customary drug use'

CROUCH END JOURNAL

'Emilia di Girolamo - if you have not heard of this name, go back,
read it again, take note and get ready to hear a lot more of it in the future'
