Welcome!

My name is Anneliese Kamola (she/her pronouns), but I go by Anni. I am an author, developmental editor, writing coach, and college English Professor living in Bellingham, WA on the traditional land of the Lummi and Nooksack people.

I have studied storytelling and the creative process for over 25 years via writing, editing, and publication; oral storytelling; theater production and performance; trauma and resiliency studies; and psychology and mindfulness. I earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Western Washington University in 2025. My writing and storytelling explore themes of the body, lineage, womanhood, healing, and the wild. I edit books on these same themes, and also coming of age stories, and the occasional how-to book.

I am taking clients; please contact me with interest. I look forward to connecting!
