Ann Morgan is a writer, speaker, and editor based in Folkestone, UK. Her book Reading the World: How I Read a Book From Every Country (published as The World Between Two Covers in the US) explores the big ideas that emerged from her year-long journey of reading a book from every country in 2012. This project has since grown into a lifelong endeavour, and Ann now dedicates much of her time to corresponding with readers, writers, and translators around the world, as well as championing the sharing of stories that are often overlooked by the anglophone publishing industry.
In addition to her non-fiction work, Ann is the author of two novels: the international bestseller Beside Myself and Crossing Over.
When she’s not writing, Ann speaks at events and leads reading workshops, both in-person and online. As a producer of the Royal Literary Fund’s Writers Aloud podcast, she enjoys engaging with other writers about their creative processes.
Ann also offers mentoring and editing services, drawing on her extensive experience working with some of the UK’s leading newspapers and magazines.
