Anne H. Putnam is an American writer and international nomad – she wrote her first book while living in London, after which she moved back to her hometown of San Francisco, where she made it a year before itching to move away again. She is currently living in the Pacific Northwest, forever-revising her second memoir and making a serious attempt at writing a novel.

The more I read, the better I write – although I will say sometimes I have to set a book aside because it hurts to face writing that's so much better than mine will ever be, as has been the case rereading An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination, by Elizabeth McKracken.

Once I finish a couple rounds of revision I suspect I will be pretty burned out, which usually means taking solace in plot-driven fiction. I'm looking forward to that!(less)

I like that they're true equals, each of whom thinks the other outshines him- or herself in some way. They respect each other, and love each other for qualities that go beyond the superficial (although Darcy's estate certainly didn't hurt his cause, and neither did Lizzy's 'fine eyes'). Theirs is a surprisingly modern and egalitarian relationship for any time, especially Austen's.(less)

What Even Is ‘Blogging’ Anymore?

I’ve been blogging in some form or another since college.

Despite being an early 2000s high schooler, I missed out on the MySpace/LiveJournal days, only because I was too uncool to have any reason to get involved in any online social shit – I wrote in my ActualJournal and read books and spoke with people in person (in my space, theirs, or some neutral territory).

But when I went away to colleg

Thanks, Brittany! I hope it'll be picked up by a US publisher soon, so you can get it without having to order from Amazon overseas!


Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) Anne,
