Amy Spencer is a former zine writer and record label founder, and current author of two books on DIY culture.

A few years later she focused on crafting with the book The Crafter Culture Handbook.
She was a key player in the establishment of the UK's Ladyfest, Britain's yearly contribution to the world-wide Ladyfest women's music and arts festival series. She is part of a promotions collective called The Bakery and is currently working towards a PhD in Contemporary London literature.
