Hey There! My name is Amanda Finn, and I’m a writer.
In fact, I’ve always been a writer, with notebooks of childhood scribblings to prove it. Now instead of wide-ruled notebooks, my modes are digital and print publications.
I have been published in Now Frolic, Via Travelers, American Theatre, Huffington Post, Yahoo, Best Life, Airfare Watchdog, Chicago Reader, Newcity, Ms. Magazine, and more. I currently have over 800 bylines across multiple disciplines.
I am a proud member (and current chair) of the American Theatre Critics/Journalists Association.
In addition to being a writer, I’m also a content creator! At Finn Writes LLC I work with small (but mighty) businesses to make their copy and content pop.
Sometimes my work means I get to interview incredible artists and creators. Some of my favorite interviews have included Margaret Cho, André De Shields, Eric Vale (pictured above), and Helen McCarthy.
Other times my work brings me to the other side of the globe. So far I’ve traveled to 23 countries and 28 states with no plans to stop anytime soon.
Travel writing reinvigorates me in the same way theater does. Together they’re the perfect combination for my dream job.
And the rest of the time?
I just write about what I know.
Like the personal essay I wrote for Huffington Post in 2020. That’s the first time I went super viral which was a learning experience, to say the least. HuffPo has republished it every Pride Month since–I still hear from folks around the world about how my piece helped them.
If you want to work together, be sure to contact me! I’ll get in touch with you as soon as I can.
