Amy Tollyfield is author to two published poetry collections, The Suicide (2018) and Toy Soldiers (2020), both published by Olympia Publishers, London. Find out more about Amy’s books so far here: http://www.amytollyfield.com/books

Amy holds a Master’s degree in Shakespeare Studies (Birmingham), a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama and Theatre Practice (Hull) and is a former registered member of the National Youth Theatre

Amy generally prefers savoury food to sweet, particularly enjoys very spicy curries (no, really), likes to strike while the iron is hot (mostly), loves coffee first thing in the morning, rates cats over dogs (though doesn’t dislike dogs, per se…), and would state her favourite colour as yellow on principle. Blue looks better but yellow is the ‘happy colour’ and, well, shouldn’t we all like yellow best for that fact alone?

Amy thinks her poetry books so far are ruddy fantastic but is particularly excited for Brixton Nights: her first novella and a bold, brave leap into the next chapter of her life as an author

Thank you sincerely for your interest
