Amy Newmark is the bestselling author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series. Since 2008, she has published more than 170 new books, most of them national bestsellers in the U.S. and Canada. Amy loves to collect stories; she has travelled throughout Brazil’s impoverished northeast region, collecting stories from regular people. She is delighted to have come full circle in her writing career—from collecting stories “from the people” in Brazil as a twenty-year-old to, three decades later, collecting stories “from the people” for “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. Amy is also the author of “Simply Happy”, a crash course in Chicken Soup for the Soul advice and wisdom that is filled with easy-to-implement, practical tips for enjoying a better life.
