Newman has published eleven novels and a
collection of short fiction. She is the co-creator, with her husband
Peter Newman, of the
Hugo Award winning
podcast Tea and Jeopardy. The podcast has over 70 episodes and revolve around Emma hosting another creator for a nice cup of tea and cake, while her scheming
butler Latimer (played by Peter Newman) attempts to send them to their deaths at the end of the episode. In 2025, with
Adrian Tchaikovsky, she launched a new podcast,
Starship Alexandria. In this the presenters alternate presenting a work (novel, film, comic book) for the other to read and judge whether the work should be preserved for posterity. Audiobooks narrated by Newman include some of her own work (
Planetfall,
From Dark Places, Between Two Thorns, Any Other Name, All Is Fair), as well as novels, novellas, and short stories by other authors, largely in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. == Personal life ==
