Amanda Writes

Amanda Korth writes about people—especially those in the second half of life—who have become highly competent at fulfilling the roles expected of them, only to discover that competence is not the same thing as aliveness. Her stories ask what happens when they reclaim curiosity, desire, authority, and identity without denying the lives and people they still love.

Current Projects

Novels

Producing Beck

with an editor

At sixty-two, Anna embarks on an unexpected journey where music, art, memory, and imagination become inseparable from the search for a life fully lived. As she learns to linger with beauty instead of chasing the next distraction, she discovers that transformation begins with attention. Producing Beck is a story about creativity, longing, and becoming fully alive—and the realization that the greatest love stories sometimes begin within ourselves.

The Aliveness Project

In progress

Drawing from years of supporting Alzheimer's caregivers and helping clients navigate life's major transitions, The Aliveness Project explores what happens when responsibility slowly eclipses identity. Instead of promising reinvention, it offers invitations to reconnect with curiosity, creativity, relationships, and purpose. The book encourages readers to cultivate a life that feels deeply lived—one intentional choice at a time. READ WHY I WROTE IT IN THE SECTION BELOW

What We Do With What We Have Left

In progress

Three women in their sixties and seventies arrive at unexpected crossroads after decades of marriage. As they confront loss, fear, faith, and the identities they've inherited, each must decide whether the years ahead are for simply growing older—or finally becoming themselves. Inspired by real friendships, this novel explores the courage to choose curiosity over fear and possibility over regret.


Plays for Community Theater

Wide Open Living

completed, production planned for 2027

A single typo sparks a cascade of misunderstandings that turns an ordinary retirement community upside down. What begins as comic mayhem becomes an unexpected lesson in assumptions, labels, and the stories we tell about one another. As neighbors discover lives far richer than appearances suggest, the community learns that understanding rarely begins with certainty—it begins with curiosity.  Copyright 2026 CLICK FOR A SCRIPT SAMPLE IN THE SECTION BELOW

The Woman in the Corner

Inspired by Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, this psychological drama follows a woman who has spent years becoming invisible inside her own life.

The Letter was Red

completed

Inspired by the themes of The Scarlet Letter, this comedy follows a respected widow whose mysterious red letter ignites rumors, assumptions, and comic chaos. As neighbors eagerly rewrite her story, the play gently asks why speculation is so much easier than understanding. With warmth and humor, The Letter Was Red explores reputation, reinvention, and the surprising freedom that comes when curiosity replaces judgment.

The Raccoon Ballet

completed

When a condemned opera house becomes home to a serious ballet company of raccoons, the troupe tries to save it by performing its history. But when humans across the street see only adorable wildlife, the company must decide whether attention is enough—or whether art can make people understand what is being lost. Funny, theatrical, and unexpectedly moving, The Raccoon Ballet is a comedy about preservation, perception, jazz hands, and the difference between being seen and understood.

Good Stewards

In progress

A contemporary comedy inspired by Anton Chekov's The Cherry Orchard.  A family risks losing the thriving business their grandparents built because preserving Grandpa’s legacy has become more important than adapting it. As an innovative granddaughter clashes—and connects—with the grandson of a man who helped build the original business, the family confronts a harder question: Is good stewardship protecting what you inherit, or having the courage to risk it so it can grow?

The Father Complex

In progress

A witty reimagining of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud's historic journey to America, The Father Complex combines psychological theory, historical personalities, and theatrical comedy as two of history's greatest minds struggle with each other almost as much as the ideas that made them famous.
