When she’s not creating magical art, Anna likes to bake rainbow biscuits and watch detective series. Ella is also the editor of the anthology Set Me On Fire: A Poem For Every Feeling, published by Transworld in November 2019.

She sheds light on the theory that many poems written by 'Anon' or 'Anonymous' in times past were most likely written by women - I had never considered this! It was named a Book Of The Year 2019 by half a dozen publications, including The Times, The Daily Mail, and The Observer.

Expertly curated by Ella Risbridger and sublimely illustrated by Anna Shepeta, this sumptuous anthology of inspiring verse from a host of seminal female poets includes work by Christina Rossetti, Maya Angelou, Amanda Gorman and many more. As with many children's picture books, this is absolutely the sum parts of the curator, the poems and the illustrations.
