Amy Drew Thompson

Amy Drew Thompson has dabbled in radio and worked in TV news, but her first and greatest love is delivering the practiced prose that people connect with. A rare bird whose journo degree has actually been put to its intended use, she’s enjoyed a colorful career that’s included both steady freelance and long-term stints behind the editor’s desk for an array of renowned publications. A headline guru with a knack for copy that is both entertaining and on point, she’s proud to say she’s never missed a deadline.

Defying the stereotype, she’s simultaneously a jack-of-all-trades and master of many. While her recent work predominantly consists of reporting and writing for consumer, trade and custom outfits (with a healthy dose of marketing), she’s a talented editor with an arsenal of red pens – and she knows how to use them.

By subscribing to the maxim that if one never gets lost, one never goes anywhere new, Amy leads an eclectic, inquisitive life. She is raising two daughters to delight in the world around them – whether that means raising butterflies in the backyard, tracking deer in the wilds of the Florida Keys or requesting virgin daiquiris at a beachfront resort. Amy’s curiosity, wit and appetite for a life truly experienced combine to make one heck of a writer.

In addition to freelance, she is open to offers of extended contract, part-time and full-time positions.
