Biography

Amy Wilde is an Austin-based writer and editor for hire. She works with magazines, blogs and brands to tell the stories of places that inspire conversation, products that spark curiosity, projects that stimulate progress, and people who move the world forward. Whether connecting a brand with its audience or igniting a spark through storytelling, her writing and editing skills have been put to good use by Fortune 50 companies, startups, nonprofit organizations, media outlets, and brands of all sizes and stripes. Clients past and present include Google Trips (via EnVeritas Group), General Motors, Morgan Stanley, InterContinental Hotels Group, Barclays, JDE Peet's (Tea Forté, L'OR), Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Visit Austin, and Impact Hub, while media bylines include Lonely Planet, Refinery29, The Hairpin, The Huffington Post, Brit + Co and more. From the moment she won her first spelling bee as a kid to the creative work she tackles today, Amy's love of language has transformed ordinary projects into extraordinary exercises in wordplay. She's made a habit of cultivating lasting relationships with a broad range of collaborators, often continuing to work together long after the original agreement has run its course. A ten-year stint in public relations preceded Amy's freelance writing career, lending nuance to her approach. She's spent a good deal of time on both sides of the pitch. She's been an agent and a client, a contributor and an editor. She loves big ideas, tiny details, curiosity, and critical thought.

• Something like Crostini

  By Amy Wilde| Citygram Magazine@ It’s a dirty little secret. I’m downright ashamed. But it’s also the truth: I can’t cook.   I’m surrounded by foodies with prominent names, but honest to Pete… I can’t cook. As a culture, we don’t just enjoy the taste of food. We adore the ritual of it…When I got an email from a good friend this summer inviting me to join her “cookbook book club” (say that ten times fast), I had a moment of mild – no, moderate — panic.
