Anne  Connor is an Australian author of non-fiction and fiction. In 2018, she published Two Generations, (IP/Ventura Press) an exploration into the lived familial impact of secrets, suffering, forgiveness, hope and redemption.

Anne studied creative writing at Deakin in Melbourne Australia, the University of Oxford, UK and with Irish writer, Claire Keegan.

For over two decades, she worked in the writing space and her non-fiction has appeared in The Age, Business Review Weekly, lifestyle and industry magazines. Her short stories have been published in anthologies, received awards and highly commended in short story competitions. She spearheaded a marketing and communications’ consultancy for nine years and managed the marketing and public relations of a major national health campaign for a peak body in the aged care sector. A book she wrote on dementia risk reduction was translated into ten languages.

Anne’s current work, THE MOTHERHOUSE is out on submission. Part imagined, part truth, it’s based on a woman who broke the mould of what it meant to be a woman living in France in the 1800s. In the shadow of the French Revolution and patriarchal Catholic Church, she created something extraordinary. In 2017, Anne spent a month in Brittany, northern France researching the world in which her character lived.

I live and work on unceded land of the Wurundjeri Wandoon people of the  Greater Kulin Nation and I acknowledge them as first people of this land. I honour the Traditional Custodial Owners of the land on which we live, work meet and play. Always was, always will be.
