Amir Agoora - TV Writer

Amir Agoora is a half-Yemeni, half-Puerto Rican screenwriter, which makes him 100% NYC Bodega.

After joining the Sesame Workshop Writers’ Room, he began working as a screenwriter, having worked across Sesame Workshop, NBCUniversal, Nick Jr., and PBS.

Outside of writing for animation, Amir writes award-winning short speculative fiction. His fantasy piece Da-ko-ta was a winner for Writers of the Future 2024, and he attended the Clarion Workshop that same year. He’s also begun writing for some fantasy RPGs and video games.

When Amir is not writing… he tutors writing! During the school year, he volunteers at the International Rescue Committee in NYC to tutor writing for K-12 refugees.
