I appreciated the opportunity to discuss how my book took its final form in this essay published by @WomenWriters! #WritingCommunity #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #SpecialEducation

On Writing my Hybrid Memoir booksbywomen.org/on-writing-my-… by Amy Mackin

@KellieDBrown1 This is fantastic. Jessica Fletcher was badass (especially to my 14-year-old self who was not raised to believe that women could be sleuths, spies, or solo travelers, much less writers).

Excited to announce that I'm now the proud owner of this.

@melostrom Thank you for reading and sharing, @melostrom!

“I’m writing for the reader who wants to feel something…” A wonderful new interview with writer @MackinWriting!💚📚

I appreciated this opportunity to discuss some of the more complicated aspects of writing my book. Gratitude to @marykarrlit whose work inspired the courage to speak and write my own truth and led me toward other contemporary women writers doing the same. theindieview.com/2025/05/12/ind…

@melostrom Thank you so much, Melissa!

@MackinWriting Congratulations, Amy!📚🎉💗

Just saw @BalladofWallis at the theater. Absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. So very grateful for exceptional storytellers who are reminding us of our shared humanity.

I'm so grateful to @GirlTalkHQ for their interest in this topic and for these great conversation-starting questions! #educationpolicy

Beautiful day for the @bostonmarathon. Good luck to all the runners! #marathonmonday

Querying isn’t about asking for approval. It’s about searching for the person who sees your story and says, I believe in this too. ✨ #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

@jimwilbourne I very much relate to this time-crunch stress, the aches & pains, and the office space. 🤣

I had 14 days to finish every creative project before leaving for a film job. Writing, freelancing, chaos — here’s what happens when time runs out. #AuthorLife Get the tea below ☕️

Excited to listen to these interviews (along with my own!) this week.

60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward their work.

Saw @SingSingMovie last night. If you have not had an opportunity to watch this film, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a powerful lesson in #empathy. #art

I continue to be grateful for the wonderful writing community I've found here and all the beautiful work of others that has so enriched my life. But like many, I'm also seeking bluer skies in social media engagement. Find me at: bsky.app/profile/mackin….
