I'm Amy, a book, reading, publishing, and library enthusiast. I'm originally from a small town in England called Hereford, but now live in Rotterdam.
When not at my job, I spend most of my waking hours thinking and interacting with books, and I am continuously fascinated by their societal role as a producer, sharer and challenger of knowledge and experience, and the systems in which books are themselves produced, shared, distributed and cared for.
It is only in the last couple of years I've started to understand libraries, librarianship, and publishing outside of their traditional roles and realms, predominantly with my interactions with pirate libraries, publishing as commons, and contingent librarianship, and I am excited to explore this more.
I hope to one day gather these interactions and collect the knowledge and experience I have gained through them to begin my own publishing venture.
