Anam was born in Paris and raised in London. She studied Anthropology at UCL, which deepened her passion for understanding the nuances of human thought, experience and culture. Her academic background coupled with the fact that she had always possessed a profound love for literature intersected to reveal her zeal for creative writing. Whilst studying MSc Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford, she completed a thesis based on British South Asian culture and identity, and that provided the inspiration for her first novel, which is a Young Adult Contemporary Romance. As a hopeless romantic, all her work is deeply centred around love, and she particularly enjoys exploring the thrill and beauty of young love.
