Stories travel differently by lantern light. Stories are not static. They move through us like weather, reshaping the way we see our lives. The Writer's Lantern exists to hold them to the light — to ask what they mean, what they reveal, and how they keep us company in the dark.
“I leave each episode with something to carry back into my own work.”

The Writers Lantern with your host Amanda Woodruff
SHOWNOTES
BE A GUEST
Amanda Woodruff is a writer and storyteller with a deep devotion to the spaces where memory, myth, and modern life intertwine. Her work is immersive, emotional, and rooted in the belief that stories are more than words on a page—they carry healing, resilience, and the echoes of survival.
When she isn’t writing, she can often be found tucked away with a well-worn notebook, weaving through the quiet rituals of creativity, or wandering East Texas backroads where inspiration lingers like a shadow at dusk.
