Hello ~ Hola

My name is Amy B. Moreno

I write poetry and fiction for adults and children, in English, Spanish, and Scots, including bilingual and multilingual pieces.

My bilingual picture book, 'A Billion Balloons of Questions' was published by Floris in 2022.

My poetry and short stories have been published in various journals and magazines, including Mslexia, Driech, Speculative Books, and Open Book.

I deliver trauma-informed workshops on creative writing for wellbeing, poetry, shared reading, and storybook making. These sessions are tailored to fit each group - children, young people, and adults.
