About Anna

Anna Caig is obsessed with the hidden voices of women and a compelling underdog story. Luckily, history offers plenty of these. She’s inspired by the glimpses into a woman’s life we get before the historical record moves onto something considered much more important. What was happening in these gaps?

Anna lives in the ‘howling wilderness’ of the Peak District and has worked in marketing for over 20 years. She grew up reading indiscriminately: Agatha Christie, Stephen King, Sweet Valley High, Alexandre Dumas and the Brontës happily coexisted in precarious piles on her bedside table. She believes reading is the most fun it’s possible to have - some of her best memories are of the books she’s read; some of her best friends and biggest loves are fictional. Writing is the only thing she can do and not feel like she should be doing something else.
