About the author

Hi.

My name is Amy Bright and I am the author of Before We Go, my first (!!!) book for young adults.

I was born in Alberta, grew up in California and Florida, went to university in New Brunswick and British Columbia, lived in Boston, and now, at twenty-four, I’m back in Alberta again.

I love reading and write about some of my favorite books at my book review blog Girl to the Rescue, which I started as a way to read more YA books in university. After finishing my MA in English I took a year off (A MUCH NEEDED YEAR OFF), and in September I’ll be starting my PhD in English in Alberta on children’s and young adult literature. If you are interested in my academic work, it can be found in the Journal of Children’s Literature and Studies in Canadian Literature.

If you would like to contact me, please send an email to girltotherescue (at) gmail (dot) com.
