Anne Goodwin writes entertaining fiction about identity, mental health and social justice.
She is the author of three novels and a short story collection published by
small independent press, Inspired Quill.
Her debut novel, Sugar and Snails, was shortlisted for the 2016 Polari First Book Prize.
Her new novel, Matilda Windsor Is Coming Home, is inspired by her previous incarnation
as a clinical psychologist in a long-stay psychiatric hospital.

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 surpass her shoe size.


Picture
Her debut novel, Sugar and Snails,
about a woman who has kept her past identity a secret,
was
published in July 2015
and shortlisted for the 2016 Polari First Book Prize.

Her second novel, Underneath,
about a man who keeps a woman captive in his cellar,
was published in May 2017.


Her third novel, Matilda Windsor Is Coming Home,
published in May 2021,
is inspired by her previous incarnation
as a clinical psychologist in a long-stay psychiatric hospital.


Author of almost 100 published short stories,
and placed in several competitions,
h
er short story collection, Becoming Someone,
was published in November 2018.

All four books are published by Inspired Quill

and available through them
or other major major online retailers.

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.
