Amy Martin began writing stories as a child before going on to earn a BA in English from the University of Waikato. She lives on a lifestyle block near Hamilton, where she spends her days working as a web developer. She enjoys baking cookies, drinking tea, and curling up with a good book (one she preferably didn’t have to write herself.)

Her young adult manuscript Ten Thousand Pitches won the 2026 Storylines Tessa Duder Award
