Amanda Loves Words

a community for joy-seeking women in the middle where we share the best stuff & cheer each other on.

Art, design, or thought-provoking ideas and curiosities — striving to share the journey of creative discovery and foster a community of thinkers, makers, and adventurers eager to learn, share, and grow.

Modern and accessible poetic prayers- made for everyday life in a broken world

Enjoy quirky lead characters and a fun ensemble with a side of swooniness? This is the spot for you! I write funny books about falling in love. Debut novel, First Comes Love, available on Amazon now!

Real talk about the writing + publishing industry from an author who doesn’t want you to feel confused, bewildered, or alone. Plus: craft tips, reading recommendations, writing support + solidarity (unless you are a jerk to people in the comments).

Every two weeks, I recommend and review a book I loved, and bake a delicious bread that fits with an aspect of the story. Fiction & non-fiction.

a chaos menu of cultural conversation

A twice-monthly newsletter on the creative process, with lessons and insights from novelists, painters, poets, filmmakers, and musicians delivered to your inbox every other Tuesday. From the author of Daily Rituals: How Artists Work.
