Amanda grew up in Massachusetts and now lives in the capital region of New York. She began to write around age six, shortly after she realized that she loved to read. Inspired by childhood favorites like Purple Princess Wins the Prize and There's A Boy in the Girl's Bathroom, she moved from beginning-middle-end short stories to longer, more complex fiction.

Inspired by a set of Wordsworth and Blake poems, Amanda began to write Sweepings of the Street in 2017 and continued to work on it for five years. Sweepings of the Street is available now.

Amanda also writes middle grade fiction and free-verse poetry.

Quotes by Amanda Denney  (?)

“For any child, and in a way for any human being, forever was an impossibly long time. Sarah had begun to realize, however, that it was never as long as one expected. It was the time spent in one’s childhood home, running in endless fields and gazing at infinite stars. It was the time a boy spent on Earth, laughing and loving and living. It was the time it took to heal a heart that had been shattered by loss. It was eternal, it seemed, until suddenly it was not.”
Amanda Denney, Sweepings of the Street

“I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too.”
Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

“Be serious,” said Enjolras. “I am wild,” replied Grantaire.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Grantaire, earthbound in doubt, loved to watch Enjolras soaring in the upper air of faith. He needed Enjolras. Without being fully aware of it, or seeking to account for it himself, he was charmed by that chaste, upright, inflexible and candid nature.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“This barricade is made neither of paving stones, nor of timbers, nor of iron; it is made of two mounds, a mound of ideas and a mound of sorrows. Here misery encounters the ideal. Here the day embraces the night, and says: I will die with you and you will be born again with me.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
