Bio

ANNA DOWNES was born and raised in Sheffield, UK, but now lives just north of Sydney, Australia with her husband and two children. She worked as an actress before turning her attention to writing. She was shortlisted for the Sydney Writers Room Short Story Prize (2017) and longlisted for the Margaret River Short Story Competition (2018). Her debut novel, The Safe Place, was inspired by Anna’s experiences working as a live-in housekeeper on a remote French estate in 2009-10.
