Anna Molman

Anna Molman is a writer of fantasy, sci-fi, and romance who also creates fairy tales and travel blog posts. By 2025, she has written around twenty short stories, thirty fairy tales, and ten novels in a lyrical yet entertaining style, spiced with light philosophical themes and sweetened with happy endings. Some of her novels, such as Summer Intimations and Katrina's Disappearance, are intended as pure "guilty pleasures", while others, like Tiger of Importance and A Story for Tommy, explore complex topics in a light-hearted manner.

Anna prefers to write uplifting stories, as, in her opinion, there is too much grief in our lives to add more to it in literature. Having lived with type 1 diabetes since childhood and experienced the horror of war in her country, Anna knows what she is talking about. She charges her texts with the power to improve readers' moods and inspire them to be creative and maintain a positive mindset. The best compliment and prize for her is when someone says: "Your story made me feel hope for the better and act towards it."

No one in the family, including the author herself, had ever thought Anna would write a novel despite her lifelong desire to play and work with words. Since childhood, she has founded various childish magazines, read tons of books, worked as a copywriter, and dreamed of becoming a journalist. No one took this activity seriously until 2019, when Anna first decided to write down her magic dream. She then finished four novels in six months and received positive feedback from readers, book bloggers, and colleagues. Just as she was starting to grow her base of followers, Russia attacked Ukraine, forcing Anna to flee to the UK, leaving everything behind.

In the UK, she dedicated all her spare time to improving her English. Loving to play with words and phrases, Anna was even able to find some joy in this exhausting process, though she says she would never advise her method to anyone because of how difficult it was for her. Soon, she started working part-time as an interpreter for Ukrainian refugees while developing her career as a writer of fantasy, sci-fi, and romance for English-speaking readers. She began translating her texts into English and found a native-speaking editor to help her with some of them.

In 2023, Anna was awarded support from the Scottish Refugee Council in the Cross Borders Programme and received mentoring from Kirsty Logan, a successful UK writer. During 2024, Anna provided her author's workshop How to Write a Fairy Tale to Help Fulfil Your Dream in various places and countries, including Glasgow Women's Library (UK), the UNESCO RILA Summer School (International), and the Marburg cultural organisation Mavka (Germany). In October 2024, her short story C-ker was published in The Other Side of Hope literary magazine (UK). In March 2025, Anna was granted a Global Talent Visa as an exceptionally promising talent in literature.
