Amanda Peters

BALLROOM SPEAKER

Written before her award-winning debut novel, The Berry Pickers, Amanda Peters’ collection of short stories, Waiting for the Long Night Moon, was “her writing training wheels.” Her stories in this collection are deeply rooted in the Canadian Indigenous experience. Whether re-imagining a story passed down from her elders or creating a story entirely from her own imagination, Peters explores a broad spectrum in time and place with unflinching honesty and offers a glimpse into the creative brain of a gifted storyteller.
