Tucker Reed is a civil rights activist and author of young adult books. She is co-author of the Amber House trilogy.[1][2][3][4]
Biographical information
Reed is the daughter of New York Times best-selling authors Kelly Moore and Dan Reed.[5] On her mother's side, Reed is a purported descendant of Virginia Colony settler and Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins.[6] Reed is a graduate of Ashland High School in Ashland, Oregon.[7] During high school, Reed was recognized on the national level for her essays and short stories.[3][8][9] As a college student, Reed studied theatre and cinema at The University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. She also served as a reporter and assistant editor for the university's student newspaper, the Daily Trojan, in 2010.[10]
Written works
Reed, along with her mother and younger sister Larkin, co-authored Amber House, the first installment of the Amber House trilogy, which was released by Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine Books imprint on October 1, 2012.[1][2][11]
According to interviews and the trilogy's official website, while researching her family's genealogy, Reed stumbled upon a box of research Moore had compiled, the contents of which were titled "Amber House." It was only after Reed persuaded Moore to adapt the idea into a novel that the family began work on the series.[6][8] Reed served as narrator of the book's 2012 audiobook edition.[12] Reed is also co-author of the series' forthcoming titles Neverwas and Otherwhen.[13]
Activism and self-advocacy
In addition to her work in fiction, Reed is also a women's rights and anti-rape activist.[4] In 2013, Reed blogged about her experiences on her site "Covered In Band-Aids." Reed was profiled by Gloria Steinem's Ms. Magazine blog in March and invited to write about her experience on Jane Pratt's feminist website xoJane in April.[14][15] Reed's blog comprises a collection of essays that explore "the assaulted woman's life before, during and after her assault."[14]
Also in 2013, Reed co-founded the Student Coalition Against Rape (SCAR), a sub-org at the University of Southern California, with fellow undergraduate student Alexa Schwartz.[14]
