Anne Goodwin writes fiction for the freedom to contradict herself*
and has been scribbling stories ever since she could hold a pencil.
During her career as an NHS clinical psychologist
her focus was on helping other people
tell their neglected stories to themselves.
Now that her short fiction publication count has overtaken her age,
her ambition is to write and publish
enough novels to equal her shoe size.

Her fiction explores themes of identity, mental health, marginalisation, attachment, gender, adolescent development, troublesome bodies and other psychological and social issues.
Anne writes non-fiction articles and guest posts
about the interface between psychology and fiction.
She's also a book blogger
with a special interest in fictional therapists.
Anne juggles her sentences while walking in the Peak District,
only to lose them battling the slugs in her vegetable plot.
As a break from finding her own words, she is an avid reader
and barely-competent soprano in an all-comers choir.
