My name is Anakana Schofield or AK for short. My main preoccupations, alongside reading, writing sentences and novels, are the weather, public health and labour history.
I have appeared at writers festivals all over Canada, the US, Europe and Asia. I have written for newspapers including The Guardian, The Irish Times, The Globe and Mail, The National Post. I also contribute to the London Review of Books blog.
I have also authored a paste-up art book Rereading the Riot Act and On related to a curatorial residency I undertook with UNIT-PITT projects. My recent anthology publications include: The Long Gaze Back – An Anthology of Irish Women Writers, edited by Sinéad Gleeson (New Island 2015), Alchemy – Writers on Truth, Lies and Fiction (Notting Hill Editions, 2016) and Little Star – edited by Ann Kjellberg (2013).
Thank you for reading!
