Sorrel Pitts

Sorrel Pitts grew up in the ancient English landscape of Wiltshire, which is a strong presence in her writing.

She worked as a magazine editor before moving overseas to teach English as a foreign language in Turkey and Spain. On her return to the UK she became Commissioning Editor for Macmillan Publishers and Editorial Manager for Oxford University Press, and is now a freelance editor and writer. Her current key role is Series Editor for PRH’s Penguin and Ladybird Readers series.

She has written numerous educational adaptations for Harper Collins, Oxford University Press and PRH including Ian McEwan’s The Children’s Act for – which was nominated for a major educational award – and John Le Carre’s The Night Manager (both PRH) as well original stories Nuala and Champion (Stand For Publishers) and The Scissor Man Caves (PRH). (Note that many of Sorrel's educational titles are published under her pen name of Anna Trewin).

Sorrel’s debut novel The River Woman was published in September 2011 by Indigo Dreams Press. Sir Michael Parkinson called it, ‘A fascinating story written by a very promising writer.’
