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 New York Times, The Guardian, The Irish Times, The Globe and Mail, The National Post. I have also contributed 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).
I am exclusively represented by Sarah Chalfant at The Wylie Agency.
All inquiries related to my work, giving talks, interviews, festival invitations or readings need to go to the Wylie Agency.
Thank you for reading!
