Amanda Rentschler

Amanda Rentschler, affectionately known as Ama is a writer, mother and artist. She studied contemporary dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and believes dancing and writing are intertwined. She penned her first novel in the summer of ‘99 in a college ruled composition book and in the 25 years since she’s managed multiple online blogs, released a zine-to-mail series called The Glitch, a story-to-mail series called “White” and started a small press publishing company called Aproprose Press. She likes seeing her work in paper over digital and is happiest when that paper is being dog eared and underlined. She currently lives in Charleston, South Carolina with her four children.
