Biography

Anita Ganeri was born in Calcutta, India, but attended both primary and secondary school here in England. 

Anita lives in the north of England with her husband, son, a cat and three dogs. She enjoys finishing her work on time and in her spare time she loves playing tennis and watching Neighbours - not at the same time though! 

Anita has spent many years working for publishers both as an editor and a foreign rights manager, and in her years as an author she has had a staggering 100+ books published!

She has been made a Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society where she carries out a great deal of research, looking for weird and wonderful things to write about in her Horrible Geography books.

Anita’s Horrible Geography series has won the Geographical Association’s ‘Silver Award’, a highly desired and prestigious award that any geographical writer would give their right arm for!

Anita is currently in the process of building her own website and will post details here when it's ready. Apparently she keeps getting sidetracked by Horrible Geography so she's not sure when it will be finished!"
