TESTIMONIALS

Dear Amanda, I want to send a short note to thank you for your incredible efforts over the past two years to help the State Department design and launch a special Arts Envoy program on intellectual property rights.  This first-of-its-kind initiative leverages the power of American artists like yourself to bring awareness to the importance of artists’ rights in critical global markets and to influence and inform policy makers and other key contacts.  It was one of the highlights of my time as director of the Cultural Programs Division and a fantastic example of cultural diplomacy in action.

Amanda Williams has a way with words and music that simply invites audiences in to listen. As a arts envoy with the U.S. State Department, Amanda took the static and sometimes boring world of copyright rules and issues and made it interactive, engaging and relatable. From the average person in a public lecture to the creative but uncertain makers of music, poetry and the written word, Amanda wove legal terms and emotion inspired lyrics and prose into a tapestry of intellectual property fundamentals that no consumer or creator will forget to apply. Easy to work with, listen to and discuss the serious business of copyright, Amanda is prepared and purposeful in her delivery. Our program success was easy to achieve from the start with a speaker of Amanda’s caliber.

I've written on my own for decades, but knew nothing of the protocol of cowriting. At the Songpreneurs Write Brain workshop, after just 30 minutes of instruction from Amanda, I sat down with two complete strangers, and in two hours we turned out one of the catchier, more commercial tunes to which I've ever attached my name.
