I Got An MFA
In May 2019, Amanda officially completed her MFA in Creative Nonfiction at Chatham University by defending the thesis How to Tell a Love Story.
This work comprises a series of memoir and personal essays exploring the interplay between romantic relationships, pop culture, and grief.
A few essays from this collection have been published. They are:
”The Lonely Planet Guide to Grief” in bonfires
“The Process of Unraveling” in Razor LIt
“What Happens at White Castle” in Hoosier Lit
Currently, Amanda is taking a brief pause from putting her own romantic escapades and grief under the microscope, but plans to return to this essay collection and transform it into a book-length manuscript.
