Amy Lovat is the Founder and Owner of social enterprise and retail store, Secret Book Stuff. As a lover of writing and reading, Amy completed her PHD in English (Creative Writing) at the University of Newcastle in 2016.

Since then, Amy has worked as a freelance writer, editor, proof-reader, research assistant and university lecturer for Creative Writing.

Amy’s love for reading and writing inspired her to establish Secret Book Stuff in June 2017 as a Random Acts of Kindness Project. The project began with Amy wrapping her personal book collection in recycled brown paper, with a hand-written note for strangers to find andtake home from various places across Newcastle. The project began to grow organically and soon became a small online business and is now a physical book store, which she opened in June 2019 with her partner, Laura.
