Amy Elliott, Senior Editor of ThirdCoast Digest, is a fast-driving Detroit native and lover of art, music and culture. As managing editor of Vital Source, Amy made the trains run on time, herded cats, curated gallery shows and wrote about Lake Michigan shipwrecks, extreme jugglers and record collectors. She also writes for Fan-Belt Milwaukee and nerdy national music blog The Post-Rockist (crowning achievement: penning an ode to art historian Simon Schama). In her free time Amy plays the accordion, takes lazy bike rides and dreams about moving to a sleepy seaside town and getting a dog.
