Arely Anaya or uh-RE-lee uh-NAH-yuh. You got it! I’m living in Butterfield, MN, a town of six hundred-ish people. I’m the middle child of ten and moved homes quite a bit as a kid. W is for Watonwan, an ABC children’s book, was my first publication in 2011. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a major in fiction writing and a minor in writing for television in May 2019. After a month and a half writing hiatus, I landed a staff writing job for the St. James Plaindealer in July, and it’s keeping me on my toes.
