Hi, I’m Amy. I grew up in Edinburgh, but now live in the beautiful Scottish Borders with my husband and son. My debut novel, Hex House, is a feminist horror fairy-tale. It will be published in the UK & US by Titan Books in Spring 2026. I’m represented by Marilia Savvides at The Plot Agency.

After gaining a BA in English Language and Literature from Newcastle University and an MA in Creative Writing from York St John University, I started my PhD with the University of Sheffield in 2020. My thesis explores the transgressive potential of ‘winged women’, from harpies and angels to circus artists and aviators. In 2023, I was awarded funding from Creative Scotland to complete Hex House.

My writing tends towards the speculative and strange, and has won or been shortlisted for a number of awards, including a Northern Writers Award and the Mairtín Crawford Award.

While you’re here, check out my writing, or get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
