In storytelling, some of the most meaningful creative journeys start with a shared history. For sisters and writers Emily Stone and Diana Bloom, writing turned into more than just a creative pursuit, it turned into a way to transform the values they were raised with into imaginative stories imbued with fantasy, romance, friendship, and emotional connection.
Growing up in an Italian Canadian home with family all around, Emily and Diana learned early on that relationships are built not just on blood, but on loyalty, love and shared experiences. They were raised to believe that friends can be just as important as family, and this idea would later have a huge influence on their creative work.
Today, the sisters are building a unique identity as collaborative writers, sharing their common imagination with readers through a fantasy world built on the values and experiences that have shaped their lives.
Creating with a brother or sister can be both rewarding and challenging. But for Emily Stone and Diana Bloom, their relationship was a unique basis for collaboration.
Sisters had already years of experiences and memories, family traditions, and perspectives. This personal connection led to a creative partnership, one of trust and mutual understanding of storytelling.
The way they work together is testimony to the strength of a strong family bond as a creative force. Instead of letting their differences get in the way, Emily and Diana have been able to use their individual ideas and create stories that reflect their combined imagination.
It’s great that they can work so well together because there’s a whole other level to that accomplishment — publishing two books is an accomplishment in and of itself, but doing it with a sibling is just another level.”
The stories Emily and Diana created are based on fantasy fiction but the emotional basis behind their work is based on real life values.
The sisters were raised in an Italian Canadian family learning the importance of community, connection and those who walk alongside us. They thought that friendship can be as important as family and this became an important source of inspiration for them as they created their fictional world.
Fantasy allows writers to create places, people, relationships and situations that may not exist in real life. But the best fantasy fiction usually has emotions that readers immediately identify with.
This is the balance that Emily and Diana harness to build a world in which imagination and human connection can coexist. Their stories explore the notion that deep relationships can steer the direction of people’s lives, whether through family bonds or friendships.
Fantasy romance has become an exciting space for readers who love the thrill of fantasy worlds, but also want emotionally engaging relationships.
Emily Stone and Diana Bloom are both working in this space, combining elements of fantasy with themes of romance, friendship, loyalty and personal connection.
Their aim is not just to tell stories, but to draw readers into a world in which relationships matter. The sisters want to use their creative work to make the experience feel imaginative to readers, but with emotional themes that are easy to relate to.
This blend enables their writing to attract existing fantasy readers while simultaneously bringing in new readers to the genre.

One of the biggest achievements of the sisters has been the successful publication of two books over a period of five years.
Every writer who writes a book needs dedication, patience, creativity and perseverance to stick with a project for a long period of time. That Emily and Diana have published two books is proof that not only do they follow their passion for writing, but they have the determination to make their ideas a reality.
Their publishing journey also traces the development of their creative partnership. Each book contributes to the larger story of how they became writers and collaborators.
The sisters see publishing not as a one-time accomplishment but as part of a continuous process, one where they can keep learning, creating, and connecting with readers.
One of the more personally important accomplishments of Emily and Diana is that they were able to create a creative project with a sibling.
Creative partnerships demand communication. Compromise. Patience. And a willingness to respect another person’s ideas. And when that partner is a family member, the experience can become even more personal.
A key base was the common ground of Emily and Diana’s background. Their collaboration made it possible for them to combine their points of view, while maintaining the bond that was already there between them as sisters.
Their story is proof of how family relationships can turn into creative partnerships that produce work of meaning. The two books they have published are a testament to that collaboration and to the perseverance they have shown throughout the process.
At the center of the philosophy of creativity of Emily and Diana is a desire to engage with readers.
Their shape is determined by the values they imbibed while growing up, especially the values of family, friendship and community. These concepts lend their fantasy fiction an emotional base other than the imaginary settings and fictional characters.
It’s a way for the sisters to take the lessons and values that have shaped them and to reinvent those ideas through fantasy.
It can lend fictional worlds more weight because under the fantasy, readers see what they identify as human – connection, trust, love, friendship, the importance of finding people that matter.
The publication of two books has already been a significant chapter in their journey, but Emily Stone and Diana Bloom are excited about an even more creative future.
They hope to eventually produce and publish books on their own so that they can continue to build their stories and grow their creative world. They are hoping to do more collaborations as they move forward in their writing careers.
Self-publishing offers writers greater artistic freedom, and an opportunity to develop their projects on their own terms. For Emily and Diana, this next stage is an opportunity to explore new ideas while staying true to the storytelling values that inspired them in the first place.
A big part of the sisters’ vision is reaching like-minded readers, as well as welcoming people who may be discovering fantasy romance for the first time.
They hope their work can be an entry point to the genre for new audiences and provide existing fantasy-romance readers with another imaginative world to explore.
So their aspiration is more than publishing books. They are looking to create a relationship with readers who enjoy reading about fantasy, romance, relationships and emotional storytelling.
As Emily and Diana build their body of work, they have the opportunity to continue to grow that readership, and create stories that appeal to people who share their appreciation for imaginative fiction.

Fundamentally, it is a story about something more than two sisters writing books together. It is about how common experiences, family values, imagination and teamwork can come together to create something meaningful.
From their Italian Canadian upbringing to their belief in the importance of friendship and family, the sisters have brought the values of their early lives to their creative work. Their fantasy fiction is a space to explore those ideas through creative storytelling and Romantic stories.
Publishing two books in five years is no small feat, but only a small part of a larger journey. Emily and Diana continue to find their voices as writers, and plan to produce and publish future books independently and to explore new collaborations.
For readers who love fantasy romance, creative worlds, meaningful relationships, and stories built on emotional connection, the work of Emily Stone and Diana Bloom is an invitation to find a world created by the imagination of two sisters–and fortified by the values they have shared throughout their lives.
Their journey is proof that the best creative stories often start with something very simple: two people with a shared history, a passion for storytelling, and a desire to create a world others can enter and enjoy.
