May Emery Hall

May Emery Hall was an American author whose confirmed books include Roger Williams, originally published by The Pilgrim Press in 1917, and Writing the Juvenile Story, published in 1939. Surviving catalog and ebook records suggest she wrote both historical nonfiction and practical advice for writers.

Roger Williams presents the life of the Rhode Island founder and advocate of religious liberty, showing Hall's interest in American history and biography. The later Writing the Juvenile Story points to a second side of her work: helping others shape stories for younger readers.

Reliable biographical details about Hall herself are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so a full personal profile is hard to reconstruct. Even so, the record that remains suggests a writer who valued research, clarity, and books that could teach as well as tell a story.
