After working in public relations for five years, and for ten years as a primary teacher, Amy turned her attention to actively pursuing her goal of writing for children. In 2017 she founded Busy Bookworms, a weekly bookclub class for preschoolers, which used picture books to inspire exciting educational activities. Amy is the author of the six-book junior fiction series Tilda Teaches (Five Mile), and the picture book Turning Cartwheels (EK Books). Her new junior fiction series Trick Shot Trevor (Five Mile) was released in November 2023, and her next picture book will be published by Affirm Press in 2024.

When she’s not writing, teaching or reading, Amy can be found attempting (semi-successfully) to train her bichoodle Fred, trying (unsuccessfully) to find a recipe that both her children will like, and catching up on the latest goings-on in Summer Bay.
