About

I’m Anna Svoboda, an American writer navigating the lit scene in London.

I work as a senior copywriter at music streaming service SoundCloud and am pursuing my master's degree at London Metropolitan University. In my spare time, I’m trying to live a write-able life. This means: scouring the city for indie concerts, vegan cuisine, vintage shops, and attempting to understand pedestrian traffic. (Although not knowing which way to pass did lead to a physical run-in in with Hugh Grant…so sometimes ignorance is bliss.)

This blog’s goal is simple: to make the rough-and-tumble, wild ride of writing more enjoyable.

Check out the feature, “Where to Write, Right Now.” Or do you just want tunes in the background while you hammer out a manuscript? Stream my monthly Lit Playlists full of tactile beats to synchronize your thoughts and scratch that itch. And if you’re so comfortable here that you fall asleep, I say: you do you. Maybe you’ll be like Mary Shelley – and your next story idea will infiltrate your dreams.
