biography

Amy Spalding wrote her first book at age ten, but don’t let that anecdote impress you out of context. It was a melting pot of every series she was reading at the time, and she spent far more time designing the cover art than actually writing.

Amy narrowly survived both Catholic grade school and public high school in rural Missouri before going on to study Marketing Communications at St. Louis’s Webster University. After graduation, Amy packed up her things, kept her laptop at easy reach, and moved out to Los Angeles. She knew a Hollywood ending was fairly clichéd, but that sunshine and freeway system make it tough to resist.

Amy is working on her M.A. in Media Studies at the New School, where she’s watching lots of TV to see how gender is portrayed. She’s also writing her figurative pants off!

She dislikes long walks on the beach but thinks fuzzy kittens are tops.

Amy Spalding’s writing has been featured in Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists and on Radar Online. She can be seen around Los Angeles performing improv on the team Secret Secrets.
