C# Select List of string from a anonymous type

Question

I have the below LINQ, and I need the result returned as a List but I receive the error:

Cannot implicitly convert type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<<anonymous type: string emis>> to System.Collections.Generic.List<string>. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

How can I return a List of strings?

List<string> emisList = (
    from p in subproductTypeyProduct
    join q in dbEntitiesParams.PARAM_Rule
    on new { p.ProductType, p.SubProductTypeCode }
    equals new { ProductType = q.ProductTypeCode, SubProductTypeCode = q.SubProductCode }
    select new { q.emis });

No need to project the anonymous type. Just the simple string. Replace select new { q.emis } with select q.emis.
