life on the landline

Landlining is the 6-month-long social experiment that follows Emily Grant in her cell phone-less New York City life.

Follow her journey as she endures singledom, slinging ketchup, and the subway system; all the while saving her right phalanges from early on-set arthritis. 

The project started on July 1st of 2016 and will commence on December 31st of 2016.

Emily is an amateur writer and full-time condiment marketer living in the Williamsburg neighborhood of New York City. She's been described as "...not exactly funny, but definitely quirky."

Rave reviews of her yet-to-debut project include: 

"I just don't get it, and I think I should be an exception to your no texting rule." -Courtney, Emily's childhood friend
"You are the size of a small 10 year-old and are going to be kidnapped and murdered." - Jeffrey, Emily's older brother
