Syndicated Advice Columnist Amy Dickinson’s column, “Ask Amy,” appears in over 200 newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, Newsday and The Washington Post. In 2003 Dickinson was chosen to step into the void created by the death of legendary advice columnist Ann Landers. Under her stewardship, the column has come of age, tackling issues from online gambling and porn addictions to custody disputes over the family pet. A profile of Dickinson published in The Atlantic Monthly suggested that if Jesus wore a t-shirt, it would say, “What Would Amy Do?” Dickinson has written a column on family life for TIME magazine and her radio stories have been heard for the last 10 years on NPR’s All Things Considered. She has also had stories published in Esquire, Allure, O magazine, The New York Times and The Washington Post and is a regular panelist on the popular NPR current events quiz show, Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. She has been a guest on The Today Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and CNN's American Morning. Her memoir, The Mighty Queens of Freeville: A Mother, A Daughter and the People Who Raised Them, will be released in 2009.

“Amy was off the charts amazing! The audience ... cried and cheered as Amy shared her story. Guests embraced her down-to-earth witty style and she generously visited with everyone who wanted to meet and thank her after the presentation. You won’t experience many speakers as enjoyable as Amy.”- Council on Aging, Services for Seniors
