Amy Reed was born and raised in and around Seattle, where she attended a total of eight schools by the time she was eighteen. Constant moving taught her to be restless, and being an only child made her imagination do funny things. After a brief stint at Reed College (no relation), she moved to San Francisco and spent the next several years serving coffee and getting into trouble. She eventually graduated from film school, promptly decided she wanted nothing to do with filmmaking, returned to her original and impractical love of writing, and earned her MFA from New College of California. Amy currently lives in Oakland, California.
Her short work has been published in journals such as Kitchen Sink, Contrary, and Fiction. Her first Young Adult novel BEAUTIFUL was released in the Fall of 2009 (Simon Pulse/Simon & Schuster). Her second YA novel CLEAN has been described as “The Breakfast Club in rehab,” and releases July 19, 2011.

hey, i really love your book. it’s probably one of the best books i’ve read so far this year and i usually don’t like reading but your book caught my eye
I absolutely love your book Beautiful! I like how you word things, she express her emotions clearly but in a different way. At first I thought it would be like Crank series, but this book is way better than them. I can’t wait till Clean comes out.
