Hello ~ Hola

My name is Amy B. Moreno

I write poetry and fiction for adults and children, in English, Spanish, and Scots, including my bilingual picture book, A Billion Balloons of Questions (Floris Books, 2022).

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

I have ten poems in the collection One Page at a Time (click on Writing for Adults if you'd like to purchase it!).

I deliver trauma-skilled workshops (usually around the Central Belt in Scotland) on creative writing for wellbeing, poetry, shared reading, and storybook making. These sessions are tailored to fit each group - children, young people, and adults.

I have a background in project work with different individuals and groups in areas of homelessness, substance use, domestic abuse, and those with English as an additional language.

Author Visits

I provide engaging, interactive author visits, with my picture book, A Billion Balloons of Questions, suitable for P1-P3. These are ideal for classes beginning to learn Spanish as part of their 1+2 languages in Curriculum for Excellence.

I love hearing all the children's questions!

Notes

Creative Writing for Wellbeing Workshops

I deliver trauma-skilled creative writing and poetry for wellbeing workshops for children, young people, and adults.
