Anna McQuinn trained as a teacher, specialising in Children’s Literature, and worked directly with children for a number of years before moving into publishing.

Since then, she has been working in children’s publishing for over 16 years – as an editor, publisher and writer, as well as running workshops and courses in schools and libraries.

Currently she combines both these areas, working part time as a Community Librarian for Sure Start Acton, running Mother & Toddler Groups and Family Book Groups in Acton Library.

Anna spends the rest of the time writing. She is author of over 25 children’s books and is a voracious reader. She says, “I can read as many as four novels in a week - if it weren’t for libraries, I would have no money left over for clothes or chocolate!”
