Welcome to Anna Kirtlan Writes
I write books, blogs and articles and I'm based in New Zealand's capital, Wellington.
Featured books
I produce both fiction and non-fiction work. My first book Which Way is Starboard Again? is about me bumbling around the South Pacific on a yacht with little sailing experience and a raging anxiety disorder, my second, Ghost Bus - Tales from Wellington's Dark Side, is a creepy and humourous collection of short stories set in Wellington, and my third, Raven's Haven for Women of Magic, features misbehaving elderly witches and a large amount of cats. What will I write about next? Come along for the ride and find out!
Blog and newsletter
When I'm not writing books I blog about sailing, writing and mental health. To share my story with me you can follow my blog or sign up to my newsletter for blog updates, the latest news on my books and other extra goodies.

Hey look a Squirtle! Adulting with AuDHDArticles
I have a background in journalism and have written for newspapers, magazines and online publications. I have mostly written about sailing and mental health issues, but am open to most topics. I can produce opinion pieces or conduct interviews to build into stories. If you are interested in my services, check out the Hire Me! page.
