Anna Mainwaring Author

Anna Mainwaring read 'The Lord of the Rings' when she was seven and hasn't stopped reading since. After studying English Literature she spent a brief time as a banker before realising this was a bad choice for someone who can't even write down a phone number correctly. Anna has taught English for some years now, for most part in a girls' school. Overhearing girls' conversations and concerns about the pressures that face them gave her the idea of the character of Jesobel Jones in Rebel with A Cupcake. Her first book with Firefly Press, TULIP TAYLOR, was published in June 2019. Anna lives in Cheshire with her family and a very dangerous goldfish. When not teaching, writing or not doing the laundry, she can be found walking up hills looking for inspiration. Find out more at annamainwaring.com and [email protected]
