Amanda Kohr is an LGBTQ+ award-winning playwright and screenwriter hailing from Appalachia.

After escaping a born-again Christian cult, Amanda moved to Los Angeles and joined the cult of Hollywood. Her plays have appeared throughout the country, including workshops and performances with the Last Frontier Theater Conference, the THML Theater Company, the Fountain Theater, and others. Her work focuses on worship, obsession, sexuality, desire, and the death of girlhood.

In addition to writing scripts, Amanda is a sex and relationships journalist with bylines in Cosmopolitan, VICE, Refinery29, Elite Daily, Betches, and more. Most recently, her pilot Texts From Your Ex earned her a spot as a fellow in the Outfest Screenwriting Lab. She currently works with filmmaker Jason Reitman.
