About Anne

Writer. Mentor. Magic Pixie Dreamgirl.

My journey as a writer (and unbeknownst to me at the time, my connection to magical realism) began in the third grade with a fairy who lived in a blueberry. She was the main character in my first book, the kind your mother types and sews the pages of before you bind it with covers made of cardboard and wrapped in contact paper.

The journey has been a long one, fraught with many bumps and detours along the way that left me at times with deep creative wounds. Like many writers, I lost my connection to my craft. And in trying to satisfy the expectations of others, I also lost my connection to the writer within—my authentic self.

My quest to heal these wounds finally led me, in my “second act” back to what I’m passionate about, the very fabric of my DNA—writing. Along the way I’ve had a great time earning my MFA in Creative writing; teaching workshops for the International Women’s Writing Guild and the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum; infusing my fiction and poetry with magical realism; and living in Los Angeles with my husband and two fur babies Stanley and Sofia. I’m currently on fire with my current projects (I have more stories to tell than I’ll ever be able to fit into one lifetime), and I love to share what I’ve learned with other writers who are overcoming their creative wounds, learning to reconnect with their writing practice, and/or journeying into writing in their second act.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Keep well and keep writing!

Love and Light,

Anne
