Hi, I’m Amy — writer, blogger, self-published author, and poetry content creator.

Hi, I’m Amy — writer, blogger, self-published author, and poetry content creator. I’ve been here untangling my emotions, oversharing my experiences and making sense of the world through blogs, essays, books and prose since 2020. I'm still working my way towards feeling confident when I say "I’m a writer", and I’m certainly nowhere near trading in the day job for a quiet cottage in the middle of nowhere to write full-time, but luckily, I write for love more than for money.

Lincolnshire is home these days. I’ve just turned 40, live with my boyfriend and our three dogs, and everything I write is rooted in lived experience; The heartbreaks, the healing, the self-discovery.

In 2024, I self-published my first book

Silent Reflections of a Fragile Heart, is a heartfelt collection of poetry and prose that explores the complexities of modern love and dating, relationships (the good and the toxic), heartbreak, and self-discovery.

This book and the poetry within it, tells of how I have ached to be loved, been hurt and also longed for something beautiful to “save me”. It speaks of the joy I found in building a connection with myself in my loneliest moments. It recounts a messy, beautiful, painful and ultimately transformative journey of learning to love and be loved.

Sundays with Myself, launched Feb 2026!

My second poetry book, Sundays with Myself is a book of poems for anyone single, who thought they had to wait for love to begin living. It is a love letter to your own company, a reminder that you are already more than enough, and it is a soft rebellion against the idea that love must look a certain way.

Coming soon …

Since 2020, I’ve been writing a non-fiction book: part personal memoir, part social analysis, part pissed off woman wanting to redefine what it means to be single. To be whole.

It’s my response to a culture that treats singlehood as something to survive rather than a state we could – or should - genuinely enjoy. And as a divorcée who once felt disempowered and shamed simply for being single in her thirties, I wanted to challenge the stigma around being single and rewrite the narrative — to show that singlehood can be joyful, empowering, and full of possibility.

It’s ready for one final edit before I attempt it down the traditional route of publishing – as no matter how many times I self-publish, I don’t think I’ll ever feel like a ‘real’ writer until I’ve cracked being taken on by a publisher.

Substack: Independently Yours

I also write a Substack newsletter called Independently Yours. It’s for anyone — single or partnered — who wants to: Reclaim their independence, romanticize solitude and embrace living life on their own terms.

Through personal stories and a few hard-earned lessons , I share my ongoing journey toward self-trust, confidence, and the often-overlooked beauty of thriving in your own company.

Thanks for being here.
