Evans, Ann: - "
Coventry-born writer, English Ann Evans began writing as a hobby more than 30 years ago. It was a hobby that became a career and a way of life. She became a professional, multi-published, award-winning writer, learning the craft whilst bringing up her family.
After 'sneaking in the back door' of her local newspaper, The Coventry Telegraph as a grassroots reporter, she went on to become a staff feature writer there for 13 years.
To date she has published around 40 books, the genres being: children's and young adult fiction and non-fiction; reluctant reader books; adult crime/thriller, romance (Pen name Ann Carroll) and non-fiction. She also writes short stories and has had around 2,000 magazine articles published on a wide range of topics such as: food, drink, gardening, animals, health, fitness, business, celebrities, antiques, collectors and more.
Her non-fiction writing really took off after teaming up with photographer Rob Tysall - Pro Photography. Together they are Words and Images UK and write regularly for a number of national and international, print and digital magazines.
Writing has taken Ann all around the UK and to parts of Europe. Additionally, some of her books have been published in other languages including French, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese and Thai.
Ann says: "My journey to becoming a successful, published writer has been through trial, error and perseverance over many years. But also, through the help, support and encouragement of family and friends, and some excellent editors and agents who I've been fortunate enough to work with.
"I love helping others who are keen to write and hope my books on writing will help other writers on their journey. As for my fiction books, I hope you love them and come back for more - check out my children's books too. Thank you for buying my books and please do leave a review."
