Amy Wilde is an Austin-based writer and editor. For more than a decade, she’s made a living connecting brands and media outlets with their audiences, telling the stories of places that inspire conversation, products that spark curiosity, projects that stimulate progress, and people who move the world forward. Currently in London pursuing an MA in Writing at the Royal College of Art as part of its 2025/26 cohort, she is not open for project inquiries at this time.

Pivoting now toward more literary and cultural pursuits, she’s developing a book-length work of creative nonfiction exploring the inextricable bonds of scent, memory, loss, and legacy. As companion pieces to that project, her essay “Stargazers” was shortlisted for the 2024 Ploughshares Emerging Writer’s Contest, and her poetry has appeared in Humana Obscura, Amethyst Review, and the collaborative Wick Poetry Center project, Poets for Science. Her weekly(ish) newsletter, Brown Paper Packages, offers shareable pleasures and connective ideas for deeply chaotic times.

Amy’s past brand work includes projects and long-term engagements with Google (via EnVeritas Group), Kantar, Hilton Hotels, Barclays, Marriott Bonvoy, General Motors, Morgan Stanley, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Keurig Dr Pepper (formerly Dr Pepper Snapple Group), JDE Peet’s (namely Tea Forté and L’OR), Wanderlust Festivals, Trivago, and Impact Hub. She’s also published hundreds of service journalism pieces, cultural deep dives, and lifestyle features. Her writing has appeared at Lonely Planet, USA TODAY Travel, The Hairpin, Refinery29, The Huffington Post, Brit + Co, Bob Vila, DAME, She Shreds, The Collective Quarterly, Citygram Austin, and more.
