Amanda Fall: creator, editor, & publisher of The Phoenix Soul. I am a gatherer of good. Sacred-seeker. Joy-finder. Heart-on-her-sleever.
Our magazine is on hiatus right now as Amanda builds our free collaborative blog and grows our outreach in other ways (including Patreon, online art classes, and more), and as she navigates being a stay-at-home mom along with running The Phoenix Soul. Her house is messy, colorful, and loud!
staff contributors before magazine hiatus:
Maureen Helms Blake
(Bitter & Beautiful column; proofreader)
:: Maureen is a sturdy pioneer no longer content to let labels like Good, Bad, Success, Failure, Beautiful, Ugly hold her back. She chooses instead to embrace The Whole Glorious Mess.
De Jackson
(poetry)
:: De is a parent, a poet, a Pro Crastinator, and above all else, a lover of words. Her muse is a mermaid, and her soul migrates between Lake Tahoe and the ocean (she visits it at least twice a year). She writes just about daily at Whimsy Gizmo.
