Experience
Amanda's passion for writing started at an early age wherein she served as the sole writer of a one-sheet "newspaper" at her local Elementary school. She also served as the "treasurer" for said newspaper but quickly learned she was much better at the written word than counting change. (For reference: the newspaper cost one dime.) Upon graduating she coupled her love of pop culture and writing to forge a career path for herself that has never once felt mundane or monotonous.
