Anne works as co-publisher at Aristata Press, a non-profit publishing company which she founded with Judy Blankenship in 2020. In October of 2022, they launched their first two commercial titles: LEAVINGS: Memoir of a 1920’s Hollywood Love Child by Megan McClard, and Díganle a mi madre que estoy en el paraíso: Memorias de una prisionera política en El Salvador, Aristata Press’s first book in translation, edited by Judy Blankenship and Andrew Wilson.
This work involves a community of publishers and writers who are passionate about reading, creating, and sharing great writing. Aristata Press is a tax exempt–501(c)(3)–organization (EIN 92-0281706) Contributions that Aristata Press receives go directly to supporting the publication of deserving literary work by authors that for one reason or another would be unlikely to find a home in the for-profit publishing sector or be capable of navigating self publishing.
Anne also operates her own consultancy, which formerly focused on ethnographic research for the technology industry. Currently, she offers a number of publishing adjacent services, including book layout and cover design. Please inquire if you are looking for consultation on your book cover design or interior layout of your book.
Additional work activities include her own various writing projects, a mix of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and song writing. Anne’s work interests focus on intersectionality in culture and society. She believes that society needs to hear from diverse voices, not just from authors whose work might be profitable.
