Hi. My name is Amanda.

I’m a writer who hasn’t felt like a writer for a while. I’m a Brooklyn-based girl from the south. I missed out on the heyday of blogging but the thought of having a TikTok channel or Substack gives me the ick, so here I am.

I have an MFA in Creative Nonfiction and an un-polished, un-queried memoir about my difficult history with classical music and a pile of abandoned essays that I would eventually like to finish. I work for a software company by day. By morning and evening, I’m working through Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way because I’m determined not to waste my thirties wishing I was writing instead of actually doing the damn thing.
