Transatlantic Agency is delighted to welcome Lee Edward Födi, represented by Transatlantic agent Rachel Letofsky. We’re excited to support their work and be part of this next stage in their creative journey.
Lee Edward Födi is an author, illustrator, and specialized arts educator—or, as he likes to think of himself, a daydreaming expert. His books include Spell Sweeper, The Secret of Zoone, and the Kendra Kandlestar series. Magic, monsters, and mysteries—these are the things he adores in children’s books. He writes about imagined worlds where characters struggle to find their place and purpose.
As a child, Lee was in an intensive gifted learning program, a foundational experience that has informed his writing and teaching. He has delivered hundreds of presentations, craft workshops, and residencies to kids in Canada, the United States, Korea, China, and Thailand. In addition, he is a co-founder of the Creative Writing for Children Society (CWC), a not-for-profit program that help kids publish their own books.
Lee has a degree in English Literature, a diploma in Fine Arts, and is a member of several organizations dedicated to children’s literature. He has also served on the peer assessment committee for Canada’s Governor General’s Literary Awards.
He lives with his wife and son in North Vancouver, on the unceded traditional territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and Musqueam Nations.
Welcome, Lee!
