HELLO! MY NAME IS ANNA.

​​

Since the days I was tucked into my bunk bed reading Twilight by the light of a white-hot reading lamp, I have gravitated toward storytelling. Whether this manifested through those sleepless nights spent finishing a series or scribbling down a short story in my math notebook, reading and writing have always felt like second nature to me. 

​

This passion for literature ultimately led me to pursue an English and Creative Writing degree at DePaul University, where I graduated in June 2023. During my time there, I honed my skills in various genres, including fiction, nonfiction, copywriting, and screenwriting. 

​

My work has been published in Crook & Folly, an arts and literature magazine, and has been recognized by DePaul several times: I won the 2020 First-Year Writing Award, was a selected speaker at the 2021 annual Spring English Conference, and was one of eight students in my class to graduate with Distinction in English. 

​

I most enjoy writing about relationships, culture, and film. I tend to hold strong opinions about most topics, and I am not known to be shy when it comes to expressing them-- whether this be through a poetry collection, a film analysis, or a personal essay.

​

Now, I am looking to continue to expand my technique, share my work, and gain valuable experience in the writing and entertainment industry.
