She's done a marvelous job of bringing together an eclectic and entertaining mix of established literary stars and emerging talents and giving them a space to shine in front of an appreciative audience. Her events continue to be an inspiration to me." and "Amanda Stern has figured out how to make promoting literature good fun. She's combined her excellent taste in writing with her background with the circus to create a kind of circus of writers with the Happy Ending series, and this is why it's such a success. She's turned the night into a must-stop for any writer coming in or out of New York City. She's also just a really fun person to hang out with, and I think she's got a knack for setting people off just right, in a way that allows what's fun about them to come forward in the reading series setting. This is real talent."
