ⓘ About Anna James

Over time she’s created a style that’s all very much her own, working as a journalist prior to becoming a full-time writer herself. Working at The Bookseller Magazine where she was the Book News Editor, along with working as the Literary Editor at Elle UK, she knows the world of publishing inside out. Currently living in London where she continues to work as a journalist and writer, she continues to develop as an author, as her writing career moves onwards and upwards. Her first novel would then pave the way for her first series, as she’d follow it up with ‘Tilly and the Lost Fairy Tales’ in 2020, along with ‘Tilly and the Map of Stories’ that same year. These would make up her ‘Pages and Co.
