Amanda is a Gaming Staff Writer at ComicBook.com. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Chatham University and took a brief detour teaching others how to write before returning to journalism. Now, Amanda writes about books and video games with previous bylines at Book Riot, The Escapist, and Bonus Action. She joined ComicBook.com in 2024.
After a childhood spent reading fantasy books and playing her way through every video game she could get her hands on, Amanda loves sharing those hobbies with others through writing. She spends far too much time juggling multiple games, with a particular love for cozy games, Pokemon, and TTRPGs.
