About Amanda

Amanda Lin Hayes writes about a variety of human and more-than-human animals. She received her M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan, where she was a Zell Postgraduate Fellow. Her work appears in Treble, The Margins, RHINO, Passages North, and elsewhere.

In my creative writing classes, I center practices of ritual, self-reflection, and collaborative play. I love the opportunities summer programs enable to try on different creative hats and build lasting relationships.
