ANN MORGAN is a writer and editor based in Folkestone. Following the success of her project to read a book from every country in 2012, which led to a TED talk and the non-fiction book Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer (Harvill Secker 2015), Ann continues to blog about international literature at A Year of Reading the World.
Her debut novel, Beside Myself (Bloomsbury 2016), has been translated into nine languages and optioned for TV, and was a bestseller in Italy. Her next novel, Crossing Over, was published by Renard Press, after being released as an Audible Original title, narrated by Adjoa Andoh, in 2019.
In 2017, Ann took up a Royal Literary Fund fellowship at the University of Kent, where she spent two years working one-to-one with students of all levels and disciplines to help improve their writing. She holds a first-class degree in English literature from Cambridge University, a master’s in Creative Writing from UEA and a post-graduate diploma from the London School of Journalism.
