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 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.
