Hey, I'm Amy
The simplest way to describe my job? Investigative journalism — with a focus on social trends, mental wellness, and multi-faith content. But as media evolves (and shrinks), my work has expanded in unexpected ways. Here’s me with one of our feathered family members!
I live on the South Coast of Sydney with my husband, three kids, and four chickens — a far cry from earlier chapters of my life: cutting my teeth at the Daily Mail in London, moving to Australia to edit Grazia, chasing celebrity stories and sitting front-row at fashion week.
These days, the work is less glamorous but even more meaningful.
I still write my own content. My new book Wise Child became an Amazon bestseller in March 2025. I write the hit podcast The Space and I’m developing a TV show inspired by my first memoir, Wife Interrupted. I also still write articles on subjects I care about cracking open.
These days, a rewarding part of my work is guiding other writers — especially those with deeply personal stories to share.
Through my bestselling course The Book Writing Remedy and the LightWriter Mentoring program, I’ve helped hundreds of brave, open-hearted writers go on to land book deals and share their work globally. I couldn't be prouder.
I describe myself as a Holistic Writing Coach because emotional and creative support is at the heart of what I do. In 2018, I completed a diploma in counselling, with advanced studies in grief and loss, so I can support writers sensitively and specialise in trauma-informed content.
Thank you for supporting LightWriter Media and for spreading the word. Storytelling is how we make sense of life — and each other — and we need it now more than ever.
