Anne Mount is an award-winning poet, journalist, author, and screenwriter. She has also written many essays for her column, Life As Is, in her hometown newspaper, The Dayton Daily News. God’s calling on her heart to be a writer began when she was sixteen years old and she began publishing her poems in places like The Cincinnati Enquirer. Encouraged by her neighbor, famous humorist, Erma Bombeck, Mount’s desire, as was Erma’s, has been: “to use everything God gave me.”
As a journalist, Mount has published her articles on health, marriage, and family topics in Reader’s Digest, McCall’s, Bride’s, Redbook, Ladies’ Home Journal, and other publications. She has authored one book on marriage, and co-authored two books, a celebration of fifty years of Bride’s and one on book publishing. Her true story screenplays on courageous faith have won “Best Feature Screenplay,” and “Semi-final Screenplay” awards in the Content 2020, Christian Media Conference.
Mount’s literary education includes a Bachelor’s degree in English at Ohio University, and Shakespeare studies at Trinity College, Oxford University, England. She has also studied and written screenplays in the Professional Screenwriters Program at UCLA.
She currently lives in Southern California, and has two daughters, one of whom is a two-time Emmy award-winning television producer. Her other daughter is a successful life coach. She spends her free time serving in her church, visiting her family members, hiking, and traveling.
