Arts Moment — As a child, Emily Buehler wanted to be an artist, but she ended up studying
chemistry. She attended graduate school at UNC, then became a bread baker at Weaver Street
Market, where she quickly noticed how much chemistry is involved in making bread. Teaching
Y
bread class for The Artscenter, where students responded enthusiastically to discussions of science,
inspired Emily to write Bread Science, a book about the science and craft of baking, written in
understandable language. She realized her childhood inklings had been correct, and she was meant
to be a writer. Emily's second book, Somewhere and Nowhere, is a memoir of a bicycle trip from
New Jersey to Oregon that explores the benefits of living in the present moment. Self-help author
Ragini Michaels describes the book as "An enjoyable and worthy read for anyone interested in living
a more balanced and happy life." Emily is currently working on a fiction novel. She also copyedits
academic papers and fiction writing. She advocates for self-publishing and welcomes the new
opportunities authors have in the digital age. Emily lives in Hillsborough, where you can often see
her bicycling through town. She serves on the board of the Eno River Farmers Market. Her favorite
things include letters sent through the mail, Made-in-the-USA knee socks, and very dark Fair Trade
chocolate. She is also passionate about recycling.
