Hello. I’m Anna Hug, a writer & editor, with a special interest in short stories. I’m glad you’re here.
I’m the author of ‘The Lookout & Other Stories’, a short story collection due to be published by Karavan Press in 2026.
It took years of messy drafts, free-writing workshops and literary fiction courses before I began to believe in my own writing. I found it was putting it down on the page, despite the imposter syndrome, that mattered. A first draft is better than no draft to work on.
I also learnt that showing my work to an experienced, encouraging editor was one of the best ways to improve. It led to my first submission being accepted for publication.
Now I offer what I’ve learnt to help writers who might be stuck on a short story, novel or memoir project. Take a look at how I can help you with your short story or your novel or memoir manuscript.
“Anna has a great eye. She can identify the beat of a story, and help the writer discard anything that is superfluous to it.”

“Thank you so much Anna for the marvelous editorial report.
Donvé Lee, author
It was exactly what I needed to take my new novel forward.”
