so…who am i?

Hi. I’m Amanda. I’ve been writing since I was a kid. I’ve even gotten slightly better at it since. I wrote an entire series by third grade – Sweet Valley Twins and Babysitter’s Club inspired — apt for the early 90s. I got the biggest middle finger pencil bump from doing so. I still have a slightly misaligned finger as a residual effect of this. I’m surprised there was never a class action suit against Mead (#2).
I have whipped up ad copy in NYC, ghost written for (well, I can’t tell you), branded the hell out of celebrities in Hollywood, created the voice of many companies nationwide and reported up to my knees in debris during Hurricane Sandy. I can write whatever you need from pithy to proper, from cheeky to corporate. I also write books and screenplays.
I have two TV pilots, five books (including teen book series Mascara and recently released All the Little Pink Flags), countless short stories, two feature films and one novella penned, thus far. And a partridge in a pear tree.
Not to mention notebooks full of song lyrics. Nashville starter pack. 😉

My approach is a very unique, 360-degree one. I’m Olivia Pope having a word baby but I don’t know if the father is Don Draper or Hank Moody. It’s Edward Bernays-era public suasion, Madison Avenue ad copy, and questionably rogue writing that’s born at 2 am of whiskey and “should I’s?”
People can’t write about their brands. Not because they don’t know their brands, but because they do. If asked to write about your spouse, Mom or mailman you’d have more to say than if asked to write about yourself. True story.
Your brain is overloaded with info and distilling it can feel impossible. That’s why folks don’t write their own resumes or dating profiles. At least not well.
Enter me. I am fluent in brand.
I’m all about performance marketing that converts, clever plays on words, web copy that baits, split tests that can optimize, content strategy that does the needed discovery, social that trends for virality and follower growth, and PR narratives spun of nothing in particular into media gold.
And oxford commas.
You’re welcome.
