Anna Sloman-Gower

Anna Sloman-Gower started writing whilst still at school and has had many articles and poems published. Her writing skills were channelled for years into creating new qualifications for teacher training in the adult sector. Anna’s creative work is inspired by the people and cultures she has encountered. Whilst working at a university in Morocco, the BBC World Service broadcast her short story Abdul’s Bananas about a young boy trying to win himself a bride through playing music. During lockdown, Anna started telling regular stories to her grandchildren which developed into a book about their adventures together. This inspired her to write about her own childhood memories and was the motivation for Rawny.
