Amy Leigh Bouwer
An English Literature PhD candidate, qualified copy-editor, and compulsive writer, Amy is enthralled by the intersections of the real and the imagined, storytelling and the ripples it casts far beyond the storyteller’s reach. Her determination to read and write her way through life (and more often away from it) led her tumbling head first into academia, whose foundations she hopes to destabilise with her research into the disruptive potentialities of popular fiction.
