Ann Bupryn

Ann is a teacher who has dabbled in writing for many years. She says she spent years wondering whether she was writing stories for children or stories about children, but in the end concluded that it’s all too often a false division. As an adult she still enjoys many of the books she read as a youngster, and as a teacher she has been amazed to find her young charges wholly engrossed in books supposedly aimed at people twice and three times their age.

Ann's horror tale was shortlisted in our 2016 horror competition and we invited her to contribute to the first of our Forge series.
