Back Yourself

An Amazon best seller about encouraging women to step up, overcome self-doubt, and believe they are capable of achieving their dreams. It features API founder Emma Allen alongside other leading Australian businesswomen across diverse industries and ages, and is the brainchild of Peace Mitchell and Katy Garner from AusMumpreneur and the Women's Business Collective.

It is filled with practical advice for anyone looking to start or scale a business, drawn from women who have already walked the path and built successful, profitable ones of their own.

Authors feature in the Back Yourself Business Festival and a TEDcircle on intergenerational learning, and all profits contribute to scholarships supporting disadvantaged women through the Women's Business Collective.

The Women Changing the World

An Amazon best-selling anthology from all walks of life. It began with a simple question: what if we could inspire people everywhere to change the world?

The result is a collection of real, relatable role models doing exactly that through entrepreneurialism, education, conscious living, giving back, advocacy, and innovation. Emma writes alongside authors including Peace Mitchell, Yemi Penn, and Cathy Dimarchos.

Her chapter follows her philanthropic journey with Global Village Housing and Houses for Cambodia, from her first visit to Siem Reap and the family who received API's first gifted home to the school projects that grew from it.

Hear Us Roar, a global collaborative book and docufilm project Emma Allen contributed to
Coming late 2026

Hear Us Roar

Hear Us Roar is a global collaborative book and docufilm project created and led by author and publisher Karen Weaver of KMD Books.

It unites international co-authors to share raw, personal journeys of overcoming adversity, resilience, and reclaiming personal power. Emma was invited to contribute, and this one is quite different to the two before it.

Coming late 2026. More to share closer to launch.
