Transatlantic Agency is delighted to welcome Ami Sands Brodoff, represented by Transatlantic agent Rachel Letofsky. We’re excited to support their work and be part of this next stage in their creative journey.
Ami Sands Brodoff is the award-winning author of four novels and two volumes of stories. The Sleep of Apples, her latest volume of stories, was a finalist for The International Book Awards. The collection centers on nine closely linked narrators who confront crises related to mental illness, mortality, and gender identity. Ami’s novel, In Many Waters, grapples with our worldwide refugee crisis. The White Space Between, which focuses on a mother and daughter struggling with the impact of the Holocaust, won The Canadian Jewish Book Award for Fiction (The Vine Award). Bloodknots, a volume of thematically-linked stories about the ties that bind us together and the ones that unravel without warning, was a finalist for The Re-Lit Award. Ami leads creative writing workshops for teens, adults, and seniors and was a workshop leader in the StoryScaping Program, providing creative writing classes in underserved areas of Quebec. She has also taught writing to formerly incarcerated women and to people grappling with mental illness. Her recently completed novel, The Awakening of Chaya Pearlman, explores the mystery and mysticism surrounding Hasidism, as well as what love and faith mean. Ami has been awarded fellowships to Yaddo, The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Ragdale Foundation, St. James Cavalier Arts Centre
