Hi, friends!

I’m Anna Rollins, author of Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl (out December 9, 2025 from Eerdmans).

My groundbreaking debut memoir examines the rhyming scripts of diet culture and evangelical purity culture, both of which direct women to fear their own bodies and appetites.

I’m a lifelong Appalachian, and I live with my husband in West Virginia where we’re raising our children.

I’m an award-winning instructor who taught English in higher education for nearly 15 years. I am a 2025 Tamarack Foundation for the Arts Literary Arts fellow.

My writing has appeared in outlets like The New York Times, Slate, Electric Literature, Salon, Joyland, and more. I’ve also written a number of scholarly articles about composition and writing center studies.
