About Me
My name is Amanda Woods. I am the owner of Prodigal Panda Writing and Social Science Center LLC. I began writing with the Institute of Children's Literature when I was 13. I have completed the Basic Course with the Institute of Children's Literature, trained in a screenwriting course out of UCLA, completed a Bachelor of Regents Degree with an Emphasis in Psychology and Social Work at Concord University, and am currently on sabbatical from the M.A. of Professional Writing course from Liberty University. I have been teaching since 2012 as a teacher of English and Reading. I have taught ESL for over five years and have Basic and Advanced TESOL certifications. I worked with VIPKid and am currently working with Teachcast Global. I have taught classes for preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and continuing education (sometimes all on the same night). I have been tutoring in English and Reading for around 15 years. I had the honor of serving as a McNair Scholar and Bonner Scholar at Concord University, allowing me to research and present social science material at a wide range of national conferences. I have also run a multitude of grant programs centering around health and health education. I have been a paranormal investigator for 17 years. I also do publishing through my company. I specialize in helping writers work on autobiographies, biographies, memoirs, nonfiction, creative fiction, and children's books. I am not a good choice for writers working on poetry, erotic romance, and science fiction at this time. I look forward to meeting you and helping you accomplish your goals.
