Ami is a British-American writer who was born in Calcutta, India and has lived and worked in New York City, London, Paris, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

When she is not reading, writing, swimming, sailing, or dancing she can be found experimenting in the kitchen while listening to jazz.

Ami has mentored girls of colour for the past twelve years, especially those from problematic family backgrounds. Her mentoring efforts include a keen emphasis on the merits of reading and education.

Ami co-wrote a memoir, Centaur, which was published in 2017. The book was a Sunday Times Bestseller, won the General Outstanding Sports Book of the Year Award 2018 and was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2017.

Ami’s second book, David and Ameena, was published by Fairlight Books in the U.K and the Commonwealth in February 2021 and in the U.S and Canada in May.

Ami’s third book, Almost, will be published by Fairlight Books worldwide in March 2022.

She is currently working on her fourth book, Boundary Road.
