Authors Over 50’s weekly podcast celebrates writers and their journeys to publication. Writing after 50 is a whole story on its own. So, let’s skip to life’s sweetest third and talk with authors about their journey from pen to publish.
Welcome. I’m Julia Daily, your host, and I invite you to listen to interviews with writers who’ve achieved their goal of publishing a book just later in life. We’ve seen award lists for Under 30 or Under 40, but I’ve yet to see lists for those who’ve achieved a significant milestone of their own—launching a new career and publishing their first book after the age of 50. We will hear about these authors’ inspirations, struggles, strategies, and the smell of that first book. These writers’ journeys inspire me because I’m one of them.

Mental Health Practitioner Heals Herself with Amanda Rush
My guest today earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan University, where she studied Ancient Greek. Years later, she earned a Master of Sciences in Nursing from Ohio State University. Years later still, she earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction from Ashland University.
She lives and writes in Ohio in a house she and her husband built out of discarded things. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2008, she operates a solo mental health practice where she does everything from cleaning the toilet to writing prescriptions. Welcome to Authors Over 50, Amanda Irene Rush.
