Celebrating FIVE YEARS on Substack

I started my Substack, emmatattenbaumfine.substack.com , in July of 2021. At the end of the following year, mine was named a “Featured Substack of 2022” and my modest following tripled overnight. Thank you to all the friends, family, and global strangers who have consistently read and listened to my writing. Here’s how I describe my Substack to new subscribers:

“This is Emma's growing, thriving collection of short stories, poems, essays and formidable feelings. Feels like: David Sedaris/Kurt Vonnegut/A Small Excitable Dog/A Big Meaty Starfish Shoved by the Rising Tide/A Lucid Dream. There is room for you here.” emmatattenbaumfine.substack.com

The Fable Recording Project: listen on Spotify

“The Fable Recording Project is a spoken-word and musical storytelling album created by narrator Emma Tattenbaum-Fine and violinist Ann Marie Bermont. It features live recordings of classic stories like Ferdinand the Bull, Rumpelstiltskin, and The Nightingale.” Listen on Spotify or any other music platform.

SOLITA: Upcoming podcast appearance

SOLITA is a new podcast from Julie Pinero and iHeartRadio. I LOVED being a guest. On the show I shared the wisdom I gained from running my first marathon in Honolulu while being pummeled by a monsoon. All the Gen Z girlies on Tik Tok said it was the hardest marathon ever, but I wouldn’t know cuz it was my first. Check out the preview of my interview with Julie!

My New Book: "Trash Mermaid"

Read Trash Mermaid. It’s a collection of rants, ramblings, stories, essays and memories that came to me by the Jersey Shore. You will giggle and feel the Jersey sand beneath your toes.

Marla

“Marla”

A story of mine excerpted from a storytelling show at Caveat with Jenna Dioguardi, July 2018 in NYC.

My Comedy Reel

Here’s the new 2020 acting reel. I hope it makes you laugh! Edited by Jenna Dioguardi.

"Climbing the Wall"

A classic coming-of-age gym class story. Performed at Caveat NYC in summer 2018.

My New Director/Producer Reel

This reel represents my favorite moments in action as a director, co-director, or co-producer, often with lots of overlap between the roles (though not always). It was a bittersweet treat to look back over ten years of collaborative labor with the many artists and people whom I adore. I hope you enjoy watching it and that you will pass it along.

"The Artist Apartment" (Short Film)

Katia Koziara’s short film, “The Artist Apartment” is currently making the festival circuit. I am one of four actors in this, her newest project. Katia is a terrific director and someone I hope to be working with often and always. Check out the trailer! https://vimeo.com/352715727 Coming to a film festival near you.
