All About Me
Manda May is a 30-year-old writer and avid birder currently pursuing her Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English at Southern New Hampshire University. Her work explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the beauty that can be found in both nature and the human spirit.
Her current project—a young adult fantasy novel—was inspired by a vivid dream that refused to fade with the morning light. In the future, she hopes to bring both this story and her poetry to readers through publication. Amanda is passionate about crafting stories that blend the familiar with the fantastical, exploring how hope and resilience emerge even in otherworldly landscapes. When she isn’t writing or studying, she can often be found with a notebook in one hand and binoculars in the other, following the flutter of wings and the rhythm of the wind.
