Anna Dunn is a lesbian writer who grew up bouncing between her ski resort hometown in Idaho and a racehorse farm in Washington. Naturally, she is fascinated by insular communities and the ways people contort themselves to live within their norms.

Her work spans many genres, forms, and even centuries, but consistently explores queer survival, gender expectation, neurodivergence, desire, and the absurdity of wealth. She’s also a romantic at heart and loves a good love story.

Anna recently received CUFF Film Festival’s faculty selects for her dramatic pilot, The Winner’s Circle. She is currently working on her first novel, set in the same world.

Anna studied creative writing and biology at Sarah Lawrence College and graduated with a master’s degree in film from Columbia University in 2026. She currently lives in New York, but as long as she gets to keep writing, she could make do on Mars.
