Amy Feiereisel

Amy Feiereisel is a writer, audio producer, and painter. Her work deals with longing, loss, and misunderstanding one’s own desires. Through her work, Amy explores the glory and tragedy of quiet moments: the way we make monumental things small and small things monumental.

That's the fancy writer's bio. Here's a simpler one - I was born in Austin, Texas, went to school in upstate New York, and was fortunate enough to study in France and Italy during my undergraduate years - which is how I officially caught the travel bug (and the goat cheese and wine bug!). I'm also half Taiwanese, and being in Taiwan makes me indescribably happy.

I graduated from St. Lawrence University with a BA in English in 2015, and participated in the 2016 summer season of Sicilian residency Officina Stamperia del Notaio as a Resident Studio Technician, which is what inspired my first book - The Town on the Hill, which is a collection of short stories set in Sicily, and inspired and loosely based off of the experiences I had there.

I'm currently working on a few different creative non-fiction projects - that is when I'm not working as a producer and project coordinator for North Country Public Radio in New York.
