Amy Meadows

As a freelance feature writer for more than a decade, Amy Meadows has penned over a thousand articles during the course of her career. The topics she has covered range from health features and community spotlights to biographical profiles and how-to articles. She also has worked with corporations of all sizes to help them develop an array of marketing materials and has contributed to more than a dozen hardcover pictorial books about small and mid-sized cities throughout the country. Meadows holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication and a Master of Arts degree in Professional Writing from Kennesaw State University. She was inspired to write her first children’s picture book after the adoption of her niece from China. For her, Emma’s American Chinese New Year serves as a way to recognize families that have been created through international adoption and honor the efforts that adoptive families in America make to observe the Chinese New Year with their children, integrating the special heritage of those young adoptees into their everyday lives.
