Anna Perera

Anna Perera is the author of seven books, including the critically acclaimed Guantanamo Boy which was shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award, Branford Boase, numerous other awards and longlisted for the Carnegie Medal. Translated into a dozen languages, the novel was adapted into a sell out play in London and regional theatres and shortlisted for a theatrical award. Anna gives talks, and creative writing workshops in UK schools and abroad, writes screenplays and acted as a judge for Amnesty Young Journalist of The Year Award, Young Muslim Writers' Award and The Jhalak Prize. Anna volunteers at a London refugee and asylum seeker centre to run a book club with a fellow writer and continues to plug away at the laptop to produce work that is, like every other writer, not always picked up by a traditional publisher.

Novels:

Guantanamo Boy and The Glass Collector: UK publisher: Penguin.

The Whole of The Moon: Self published.
