Amy Molloy is an award-winning journalist, editor and founder of LightWriter Media — on a mission to turn doom-scrolling into joy-scrolling, without ignoring the hard stuff happening all around us.

​

After two decades at the world's biggest media names — from the Daily Mail in London to Grazia Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and The Times — Amy pivoted her career around a single, urgent question: what if the news made you feel better, not worse?

​

The answer is LightWriter Media: a multimedia brand proving that content can go viral without sending you into a panic spiral — with over 8 million podcast downloads, hundreds of thousands of books sold, and a fiercely loyal following to prove it.

​

An advocate for responsible storytelling, Amy works with government agencies, not-for-profits and global publishers to champion real people sharing raw stories — and her work in the mental health space has been praised for the responsible sharing of lived-experiences.

​

The LightWriter website brings together Amy's bestselling resources, book writing course and mentoring service — everything a writer needs to share their story with confidence, clarity and the emotional support it deserves.

​

She is the author of five books, including the Amazon bestseller Wise Child and her memoir Wife Interrupted – currently in development as a TV series with the support of Screen Australia and Screen NSW.
