| ANNE MAYER |
Anne Mayer has been writing and publishing her work since she
was 17 years old. Entering almost every contest she thought worthwhile,
as a college student, she won second place in Mademoiselle's Poetry
Competition, honorable mention in Mademoiselle's Guest Editor
Competition and second place in Writer's Digest National Article
Writing Contest.
After graduating from Ohio University, with a stint at Trinity
College, Oxford University, England, she and her lawyer husband,
David, loaded up the U-Haul and moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to
New York City. Not deterred by the 1977 Blackout, the sub-way
strike, garbage strike and John Lennon's death, Anne carved a
niche for herself as assistant features editor of Harper's Bazaar
and landed her own entertainment column for the magazine, called
"Eye-On."
A master in developing good working relationships with editors
and publishers, Anne eventually left Harper's Bazaar to freelance
for McCall's, Redbook, Ladies' Home Journal, Mademoiselle, Working
Mother, Bride's, Seventeen, Parents, Parenting, Child, The New
York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Hemispheres and other publications.
A few years later, Anne, David, and their two young daughters
moved to San Rafael, California. They were barely settled in their
new home, when a literary agent contacted Anne and asked if she
had any book ideas. Two years later, Anne's book, How To Stay
Lovers While Raising Your Children, (St. Martin's Press) was
published, chosen as a Literary Guild Alternate, reviewed twice
in USA Today, and excerpted in Reader's Digest (USA, Great Britain,
Canada). Anne appeared on the "Today" show with Katie Couric and
numerous television and radio programs throughout the United States
and Canada.
Now a resident of Dallas, Anne lets no tumbleweed grow under her
feet. She is the creator of "Business Leasing News," voted number
one online financial leasing newsletter in the world by Alexa.com,
of which David is the publisher. In addition, she is an award-winning
screenwriter, and special advisor to the board of the Dallas Screenwriters
Association. Passionate about all types of writing, Anne is also
co-author of the book, The Bride (Harry Abrams), which
celebrates 50 years of weddings and Bride's magazine, and The
Insider's Guide To Book Editors And Publishers, (first edition,
Prima Publishing & Communications) by Jeff Herman. She also helped
broker a book deal for her husband, David, which produced Business
Leasing For Dummies, (John Wiley & Sons), and edits proposals,
books and screenplays.
Anne loves helping other people succeed with their "book or script
dreams." Her motto is: "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness
is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will
be successful." – Albert Schweitzer
