Anita Roy
writer | editor
I am a writer, editor, publisher, storyteller and performer.
Being a bit of a mongrel, a mudblood, a half-and-half, mixed race, betwixt-and-between sort of gal has shaped my outlook, my humour and my writing as much as my skin colour.
On this site you can find over 100 of my published articles – and links to the some of the books that I've either edited or contributed to. Hope you enjoy reading them; let me know what you think.Recently published
