Amy is a non-fiction writer based in South London where she lives with her husband and two daughters. She's publishing her memoir, Twenty-four Plus Six, with Cranthorpe Millner. Her book tells the story of the terrifying roller-coaster ride she was suddenly flung onto when her baby arrived only twenty-four weeks and six days into her pregnancy, and was immediately rushed to intensive care. Amy has written for the Early Birth Association and Bliss. Her Blog, Life of a Preemie Mum, draws upon her Philosophy degree from the University of Cambridge, tackling difficult ethical, moral and social questions about prematurity. Her posts discuss the crazy, terrifying, heart-wrenching parenting moments that life becomes filled with when you become a mum to a premature baby (preemie). In 2020, Amy helped her eldest daughter write a children’s book called My Very Little Sister and the Very Big Story. It’s now available across the UK for the 100,000 families whose babies are admitted to neonatal care each year. Before giving up paid work to look after her children full time, Amy established a charity in Peru and went on to hold several leadership roles in UK charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support and Victim Support, where she was Head of Volunteering.
