Emi Gennis is a cartoonist from the Midwest.

Her nonfiction comics often explore themes of loss, fringe thought, and foolhardy misadventure. Emi’s work has appeared in several publications, including Bitch Magazine, The Graphic Canon of Crime & Mystery, and the Eisner-nominated anthology Eat More Comics: The Best of The Nib. Her self-published memoir Baseline Blvd was nominated for Slate's Cartoonist Studio Prize in 2016. She is also the editor of Unknown Origins & Untimely Ends, an anthology of nonfiction mystery comics.

Emi received her BA in Art History and Visual Arts from the University of Chicago, and an MFA in Sequential Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has been teaching comics to college students since 2013, and is currently Associate Professor of Comics & Narrative Practice at the Columbus College of Art & Design. She and her little black cat live in downtown Columbus, OH in an old townhouse that is almost certainly haunted.

Emi is represented by Ellen Goff at HG Literary.
