Introduction
Amanda Renee is an American romance novelist.
Background
She was raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey United States and now lives in coastal South Carolina. She began writing at nine-years-old, but didn't pursue it seriously until she garnered praise for a school essay against music censorship. After she was discovered through Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest, she began writing for their American Romance line.
Career
Amanda received "the call" from Harlequin on March 13, 2012 after she had submitted her manuscript to them through their So You Think You Can Write competition.
