About our guest:
Anna Mansell is a bestselling author of seven novels, a playwright, and an emerging screenwriter. She’s a BBC Writersroom alumnus, a New Associate with New Perspectives Theatre Company, an Associate Artist with Mansfield Palace Theatre, and currently working with Inspire Libraries on I Am A Writer; a programme developing a legacy project with older people from the Nottinghamshire area.
Her novels (including How to Mend a Broken Heart and Her Best Friend's Secret) are intended as a moment of escapism that reflect modern life and real, flawed, protagonists. Her theatre, film and community work focusses on the human condition and lived experience. She’s particularly interested in co-creation, stories about women at middle age, and the conversation around our relationship to body, food and self, explored in her podcast How To Breathe So You Don’t Look Fat, titled after a lesson she was taught at 8 years old.
