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 was published globally by Hay House 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 continue writing articles on the subjects I care about cracking open.
A big part of my time now goes into guiding other writers — especially those with deeply personal stories that have the power to move the world forward. (That’s the mission behind my company, LightWriter Media.)
Through my bestselling course The Book Writing Remedy and the LightWriter Mentoring program, I’ve helped dozens of brave, open-hearted writers go on to land book deals and share their work globally. I couldn't be prouder.
I call myself 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.
