The Amy Green
Teen Editors
I’m very lucky to have a team of très smart teen
editors behind me. Kate is always the first to read the
Amy Green books and she gives me cracking feedback.
Emma, Sinéad and Isobel keep me on the cultural,
fashion and music straight and narrow. Thanks for all
the help, girls!
WIN! WIN! WIN!
