Hi! I’m pleased to “meet” you!
I’m Amy, a freelance writer and blogger, primarily published under the name Amy Ahearn.
I live in Sydney with my husband and our combined total of 4 children. I spent several years working in Aged Care, both in caring and later in recreational therapy, before moving into administrative work. Almost 9 years ago, I moved into a public service role in Communications.
I have always enjoyed writing. In the last 5 years or so, I have worked on building and refining those skills. This lead me to undertake a Certificate IV in Professional Writing and Editing and well as other short courses.
I have been writing at HandbagMafia for several years now on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
- Social issues
- Parenting
- Politics
- Humour
- Feminist issues
- Health
I have been published on various media and parenting websites. See the Portfolio page to read more.
Got a website?
I can help you by providing quality content to help you engage with your audience. Compelling articles that are well researched and designed to keep your readers interested.
