Anna McKerrow is an author of poetry, fiction and nonfiction. She lives in London and is originally from the West Country, which gave her accent a subtle (yet noticeable) pirate twang as well as a love of cream teas and all things mystical. For many years she was the Reviews Editor at BookTrust, the UK’s largest children’s reading charity. She now writes full time, teaches creative writing part time at a university and freelances for various literature organisations.
