Hi, I’m Amy Hansen

My job is to investigate every day mysteries. Where do bugs go? How do refrigerators work? I get to ask lots of questions and read a lot, then I write. I also visit classrooms, camps and libraries, talking about writing and researching. It is a very cool job.

Cicada Songs:

a short play.

Cicadas are a short-lived, loud insect that show up every 17 years. I asked what would happen if they wanted more from life than just making noise. My short play was produced by College Park Arts Exchange.

Check out some of my past events. I've worked with kids and adults on writing fiction and nonfiction.
