Amy Collins

Growing up Amy was told she could be anything she wanted. So naturally wanted to be a rock star. Those feelings were slowly taken over by a love for pen on paper. Or fingers on a Mac if we’re being honest. After reading Tolstoy's War and Peace she also fell in love with a succinct message. A Masters Degree in Global Media Communications preceded stints at PR agencies and communications agencies, leading her to the life of a freelancer. Amy finds it difficult to read anything that doesn’t take full advantage of the oxford comma, thinks shoes should always be bought in two colours, and that a yoga class followed by a glass of wine (or two) is the perfect evening.
