A singer, an educator, and now a writer– Amanda Esch-Cormier does it all! Residing in Michigan with her husband and children, Amanda is the 2018 Glamour Women of the Year honoree and 2018 ESPY award recipient. She grew up in Michigan obsessed with old country music and managed to combine that love with her experience in education at the Country Music Hall of Fame, where she worked pre-pandemic. Now, she’s dabbling in writing children’s books, with her debut self-published book, Wild and Free, which began as a poem to her daughters and evolved into something bigger. Learn more about what kind of resources she used on her journey with self-publishing, how she markets her book now that it’s out, and the intersections between her interests.
