Experience
Amanda's long and prolific writing career began in 2013, after applying to Cracked with a piece on historical fashion trends. For the next 13 years, she wrote and edited stories for that publication, covering all facets of celebrity culture, from wild family histories to dramatic break ups, as well as hard-hitting interviews about women's issues and mental health. In 2018, she became senior editor of Macaulay Culkin's Bunny Ears, where she skewered celebrity lifestyle content such as eyebrow-raising wellness trends, extreme beauty routines, and relationship drama. From 2020 to 2022, she edited romance ebooks for Bryant Street Shorts. Today, she continues to be a prolific disseminator of celebrity and lifestyle news as a writer for Women.
