poet

"post-menopausal
sandwich generation X
nearly empty nest
almost every piece of me
bursting from my weathered chest"

editor

A former book industry professional, Amanda is now a member of The Society for Editing (ACES), and contributing editor to several Medium.com publications. She strives for a combination of connectivity, attention to detail, and a "why," "wow" or "hmm" factor in each story she reviews.

bio

Amanda Weir-Gertzog is a neuroqueer, chronically ill, poet from New York who lives, writes, and edits in the American South. A nap goddess and bookworm, she basks in the wonder of sweet tea, silliness, and cozy gray cardigans. Amanda lives with her family, menagerie of pets, and stashes of misplaced chocolate in a home overflowing with books and love.
