Satire
Amanda’s comedy writing has been featured on Reductress, Daily Women in Comedy, and WeeklyHumorist. She contributes both full pieces and headlines to Reductress — and she’s also in a lot of their stock photos (one of her highest honor to be chosen as the face for the headline “This Woman Looks Good on Excessively Hot Days.”)
Sketch Comedy
Amanda has written plenty of sketches! Soon, you’ll find links to videos of some of her sketches right here. Until she figures out how to upload things on SquareSpace In the meantime, email her for some cute Final Draft scripts of things and she’ll let you read ‘em.
Copywriting
Amanda Melhuish is also a copywriter! She’s written copy for Thinx Inc., OkCupid, Ample Hills, Kensho Health and more. She currently works for Ample Hills Creamery as the Brand Manager. She’d be game to consider freelancing with you. Pop on over to her portfolio site to see what she’s all about. (Yes, it’s a “dot net” — she owns the “dot com” but she’s couldn’t figure out how to sync it, she is a comedian not a tech developer.)
