How to Hit Curveballs: Anna Francesca

Former librarian and theater kid, current mother and writer 

Anna Francesca won poetry contests at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and Johnson County Public Library. When she lived in Las Vegas, NV, she featured multiple times at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and co-hosted weekly open mic nights at Rejavanate. In the metropolitan Kansas City area, Anna Francesca judged a preliminary round of Louder than a Bomb (LTAB), performed for three years at the KC Storytelling Celebration, and worked as a librarian for the Mid-Continent Public Library and the Kansas City Public Library. She is the proud mother of an anime-loving teen who would probably roll her eyes if she read this bio.
