About the Author
Name: Amanda Hirsch
Location: NYC (a recent transplant)
How I Spend My Time: Improv. Yoga. Walking my dog, Cosmo, in Tompkins Square Park. Exploring NY.
Bringing Home the Bacon: I help indie media companies and non-profits improve the quality, reach and impact of their web content. Clients include NPR, PBS and the Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio).
Other Fun Facts: I’m a vegetarian (HOW FUN IS THAT?!). I believe passionately in the importance of independent media. As a child, I watched Family Ties Vacation at least 30 times. Alex P. Keaton was my first love – since then, I’ve developed a preference for Jewish wiseasses (including this one in particular).
I read: Blogs – a LOT of blogs (including these). Entertainment Weekly. The Week. Novels. The Sunday New York Times, sometimes. Twitter, and all the interesting places it leads me.
Favorites: Where the Wild Things Are (the movie). The Daytrippers. I Know This Much is True. The Artist’s Way. Paul Simon’s Graceland album. Indian food. Dark chocolate.
