Ann Bryant trained at the Royal College of Music and began her writing career when her daughters were little. She has published around 125 books, roughly 75% children's fiction including many series, the rest, music resources for primary school teachers. Ann narrated her latest picture book 'Peter and the Timber Wolf' at 48 concerts in 2019 whilst Kidenza orchestra played the famous Peter and the Wolf music. Reading from her book 'Code Breaker' at the Gibraltar literary festival in November 2022, a year 6 class was inspired to take it on as their class reader. Ann regularly gives author presentations in international schools as well as the UK, and also leads music workshops for teachers. She says 'I'm often asked what you need to be an author - well, I think it boils down to imagination and discipline, or put another way, a telescope and a microscope, OR a heart and a head.'
