Quotations:
"It didn’t occur to me that writing and drawing could be my REAL work until I married a guy who believed it was worth risking humiliation to try to do what we WANTED to with our lives. I figured if he could, I could – so, I began submitting work and getting countless letter-bomb rejections."
"Now, I write all day while my kids are in school, and I sometimes sneak in a few hours after everyone else has gone to bed. I know mine is a weird, isolated life – but I also know it’s absolutely PERFECT for me."
Amy Koss is a member of the Society of Children's book writers and Illustrators, Children's Authors Network, Friends of Children and Literature, California Readers, Children's Literature Council of Southern California and Authors Guild.
Amy Koss married Mitchell Koss in 1982. The marriage produced two children.
