I’m launching a new platform for long-form prose and thoughts on the power of writing, storytelling, and what happens when that power is stripped from us — and how we, as women, fight back.
About Amanda Karch
Karch is a published poet and avid writer, continuing to hone her entrepreneurial skills from college through her path as an author. As a Babson College alum, she focuses on other forms of storytelling through data analytics. Her debut poetry collection, Her Favorite Color Was Sunshine Yellow, was self-published in 2020, selling almost 200 copies in its first print year. Individual poems have been published in literary journals and anthologies such as Paddler Press, Topical Poetry, and Querencia Press. Outside of writing, you can find her running, reading multiple books at the same time, or spending time with her two crazy corgis.
