Anna Olswanger
 Anna Olswanger wears a number of hats in the book world. She is the coordinator of the Jewish Children's Book Writers' Conference each fall at the 92nd Street Y and is a literary agent with Liza Dawson Associates in Manhattan. She is also the author of Shlemiel Crooks (Junebug Books), a Sydney Taylor Honor Book and a PJ Library Book. In 2010, the Kaufman Center premiered a family musical based on Shlemiel Crooks at Merkin Hall in New York.
A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Anna has made "The Home of the Blues" the backdrop to many of her fiction stories, including "Chicken Bone Man," which won Maryland's F. Scott Fitzgerald Short Story Contest and appeared in Stories from the Blue Moon Cafe IV (MacAdam Cage).
In 2001 Anna moved to New Jersey where she began publishing limited edition miniature books for Judaica collectors. She currently resides in the metro New York City area. A frequent traveler on Amtrak, she teaches business writing at the Center for Training and Education at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and writing for physicians at Stony Brook University School of Medicine and Hospital.
