Award-winning novelist, playwright, & nonfiction writer

Welcome — I am Sophy Burnham. I am a writer, and now, curiously, find myself also a psychic and medium, and a spiritual director.​​​​​​

I’ve written 17 books (novels and nonfiction), plus plays, radio plays, essays, journalism, children’s works, poetry, and more. Three of my books have appeared on the New York Times’ and other best seller lists. ​

I’ve been so lucky. My works are translated into some 25 languages. My favorite award is “DAUGHTER OF MARK TWAIN.” Who wouldn’t feel honored by the Mark Twain Society?

Available now for preorder

Right now I’m thrilled to announce my new book and audio book. Currently, it is available for preorder in the U.S. and U.K.

Stay tuned for updates about its release in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and more.

I was recently interviewed by Suzanne Giesemann for her podcast, Messages of Hope, which you can watch and listen to here on YouTube. We had a lovely hour-long chat about angels, mediumship, and spirituality. ​

Here is a YouTube interview from 1968 with artist Don Gray about my New York Times bestseller, The Art Crowd. What an amazing thing to look at yourself across 50 years of time. I’m over 80 now, and seeing that young woman who had such vibrancy and joy is truly lovely. Don is magnificent. ​

Here is my New York Times column in Modern Love, 2/10/19 on sensuality and aging.
