What is the LightWriter™ Letter?

The LightWriter™ Letter is a twice-weekly newsletter by Amy Molloy, an award-winning journalist, editor and author who produces uplifting content for the biggest names in global publishing. I write articles, and books, and, through my courses and writing coaching, I help other people to share their amazing stories (in a way that feels empowering to them). I also write a twice-daily podcast that has amazed us all with how much you love it (thank-you!). Oh, and I’m working on a TV show based on my first memoir.

So, why am I here? Well, there are some topics that mainstream media won’t touch, and many that I don’t want to water down to make them more commercial … so this is their home. The LightWriter™ Letter is for the thoughts that light me up but don’t fit in a media box. Often, words on motherhood, healing and a hint of childhood trauma!

Why Follow the LightWriter™ Letter?

The LightWriter™ Letter is my place to share the content and stories that are genuinely lighting me up, and helping me to ride the rollercoaster of life, and I believe they will transform you to. It’s for stories that won’t fit into an Instagram caption; for the days I don’t want to splash my face across a TikTok square, but still want to share. Writing is, and has always been, my way to connect with a world that can feel overly complex; a place to unpack the nuances of our challenges, and to discover the pleasure and pain in our trauma. For me, sharing in a safe space is the essence of recovery—for the writer and the reader too. So, thank-you for being here!

As the media landscape evolves, I truly think it’s important for writers to continue to value their words, especially, when we’re putting our hearts and souls on the line (and online!). I am always the champion who tells my writers that their stories matters, and their story has value. So, I ask—if you can—for you to support my shares, so that I can continue to show up in a way that makes me feel real.
