Long Bio
Anne is a lifelong storyteller, from her earliest crayon-and-notebook-paper books and plays (subsequently performed for her parents’ unwitting dinner guests), to a career in advertising, to picture books today.
Having grown up mesmerized by Shel Silverstein and larger-than-life characters like Eloise and Pippi Longstocking, Anne’s early love affair with stories led her to earn a BA in English Literature from Vanderbilt University and later into the advertising industry. Anne spent nearly a decade developing advertising campaigns for multiple brands at The Coca-Cola Company, but ultimately decided writing for children is way more fun.
A true creative at heart, Anne also paints abstract art. In her spare time, she enjoys volunteering at children’s libraries and local children’s literacy programs. Anne is an active member of SCBWI, 12×12, and Inked Voices. She’s won over a dozen KidLit writing contests, most recently the KidLit Chuckle Challenge. Anne is represented by Kaitlyn Sanchez of Bradford Literary.
Anne lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two teenage sons. Find out more about her at anneweaverbooks.net or follow her on X/Twitter (@annemweaver).
