Amy
Phillips Penn began her career as assistant to the world-renowned
society/fashion columnist, Eugenia Sheppard. After Sheppard’s death,
Penn continued Eugenia’s “Around The Town,” society column for the
New York Post under her own byline. The column was syndicated in the
Palm
Beach Daily News.
As a Palm Beacher, she continued
her coverage of society for several Palm Beach publications, until
she convinced an editor that she could cover a polo clinic by riding
through it. Emerging intact, she became obsessed with polo, not an
uncommon reaction for a first time player.
Dismounted, she writes for polo
magazines including the
Palm Beach
Polo program, P.Q.,
Polo
Player’s Edition and
Sidelines.
Other credits include:
Avenue,
Hamptons,
Interview,
the Kravis Center
for the Performing Arts program,
Palm
Beach Illustrated,
The Palm Beach
Post,
Palm
Beach Society,
South Florida,
Town & Country
and
Wellington. Penn has also covered fashion reporter
for GQ and
The New York Times Menswear magazine.
Her love of theater has been
awarded, by serving as a
Tony Awards voter for a year. As an art
aficionado, she has done commentary on Andy Warhol for
CNN.
Currently, she is writing lyrics
that range from country to rock. Titles include:
- "Let The Horse Come To You"
- "Wouldn’t Want a Man Who Didn’t Make Me Crazy"
- "Fun and Sexy"
- "Left Over Love"
Her novel/screenplay,
Seduced by
Polo, is a Hollywood natural. Who can resist the wild adventures of
a woman polo player in a world of business moguls and macho
Argentine players?
