AMY LAURENS is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for all ages. Her story Bones Of The Sea, about creepy carnivorous mist and bone curses, won the 2021 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novella. Amy has also written the award-winning portal-fantasy Sanctuary series about Edge, a 13-year-old girl forced to move to a small country town because of witness protection (the first book is Where Shadows Rise), the humorous fantasy Kaditeos series, following newly graduated Evil Overlord Mercury as she attempts to acquire a castle, the young adult series Storm Foxes, about love and magic and family in small town Australia, and a whole host of non-fiction, both for writers AND for people who don’t live with constant voices in their heads.
Other interesting details? Let’s see. Amy lives with her husband and two kids in suburban Canberra. She used to be a high-school English teacher, and she was once chewed on by a lion. (The two are unrelated. It was her right thumb.) Amy loves chocolate but her body despises it; she has a vegetable garden that mostly thrives on neglect; and owns enough books to be considered a library. Of course. Oh, and she also makes rather fancy cakes in her spare time.
She’s on all the usual social media channels as @ByAmyLaurens, but you’ve got the best chance of actually getting a response on Instagram or the contact form on her website. <3

Have you ever been reading a book - maybe even enjoying it - but when you got to a crucial point, the author made a glaring mistake that made you want to throw the book across the room? Would you keep reading?
Here's a hint: most people won't.
Time is in short supply, and readers are just looking for reasons to put your book down for a better book, or something else - and you DON'T want to be the writer whose book gets thrown across the wall.
Writers, there are almost 45 million dog owners in the United States alone. 45 million. That's almost 1 out of every 6 people in the US. That's a heck of a lot of people.
And YOU could be causing them to throw YOUR BOOK against the wall, by making mistakes that are so irritating to readers - but SO easy to fix. How To Write Dogs by Amy Laurens will show you how.
So, your main character owns a dog - or maybe is a dog. What next?
Imagine being able to write a scene from the point of view of a dog, and not having to mention the dog at all - and yet people still 'miraculously' know your main character is a dog. How To Write Dogs discusses in detail what it's like to be a dog - their senses, their emotions, everything - and you can use this information to create rounded, compelling characters that act like dogs, not people in fur coats.
But what if you don't want to write about a main character who's a dog? And what if you already own a dog, and think you know all about them?
Let me assure you: you still don't know everything you need to know.
How To Write Dogs includes tips on things your typical dog-owner wouldn't even think to include. Mistakes about dog showing, breeding, the different breeds of dogs and how dogs think and feel - all this and more are discussed in this brand new e-book.
Here's a sample of what you'll learn in How To Write Dogs:
Dogs don't actually see in black and white. They have dichromatic vision. Dogs can smell things into their component parts - they can recognise the whole and the parts. Dogs don't speak English - but they're very superstitious. Dogs don't do things to 'get revenge'; in fact, they aren't capable of thinking in such terms.Plus discussions on things like:
Purebreds versus mongrels: is one better than the other? Male versus female: is there really a difference? Dogs versus cats: what's the real deal here? And much, much more!
Pick up your copy right away - you'll be writing like an insider in no time at all, and you'll be secure in the knowledge that no-one will every throw YOUR books against the wall - at least, not for dog mistakes!
*Now includes 4 bonus mistakes!*
