About the Author

Hello there!

My name is Annelise (ann-AH-lee-SAH) and I LOVE fairytale retellings! Or really any retellings for that matter—classic literature, nursery rhymes, ballets and operas…

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

I’m an Idaho girl who always wanted to be an author when she grew up. Then everyone convinced me that authors make no money and are a bit pathetic… so I let go of that dream and decided to become an editor instead!

After graduating university with a degree in Editing & Publishing, I decided to live the digital nomad life and travel the world! I made it to Europe, but after making a long pit stop in England, I ended up getting engaged and married to a British boy 💜

Time went on, and I tried various author-adjacent career paths with varying levels of success. But now I’ve finally admitted defeat and decided to really give the author thing a go.

That said, I’m actually super excited to finally be on this journey, and little me would be so proud 🥲
