I'm Amy Hallberg, lifelong Minnesotan, founder of Courageous Wordsmith. My name means Beloved Soundmountain. I used to teach German & Spanish. Now I teach real-life writers to find their authentic voices.
As an author (Tiny Altars and German Awakening) & podcaster, I explore the intersections of language, storytelling & healing. As an editor & writing mentor trained in creative nonfiction, life coaching, etc., I guide real-life writers through their narrative journeys—from inklings to beautiful works.
