She is the author of eleven award-winning books spanning YA, middle grade novels, historical fiction, craft books, picture books, non-fiction poetry, and a graphic novel. Amanda has an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts with a specialization in picture books. She has spent thirty years working with young people in theatre –– developing theatre programs, teaching, directing, writing, and running several theatre schools.

Her children and grandchildren inspire her to stay curious and open to the unknown.
