About Amanda Gamble
Expertise
I will answer any etiquette question you`d care to ask! I will be happy to give friendly non-judgmental advice on any situation. If your question is rude,incoherent or demands I confirm your "victim" story, I reserve the right to refuse to answer. Life is too short. Certain cultures and customs are not part of my personal experience,but I will research to get the needed answer. Time specific questions may or may not get answered by your deadline.

Experience
I have been writing a daily etiquette advice column for 8 years. I have taught as well as given lectures on the subject.
