Anna’s debut novel, Only Daughter (2016), introduced readers to her tense, emotionally astute storytelling. It was followed by Little Secrets (2017), The Spite Game (2018) and Out of Breath (2022) which further established her reputation for gripping and socially conscious thrillers. Her most recent novel, The Ones We Love (2025), centers on a family unraveling under the weight of secrets, trauma, and simmering resentments. With sharp prose and intimate emotional insight, the novel explores the full spectrum of love and what happens when it’s tested.
Beyond her novels, Anna is an accomplished screenwriter and audio storyteller. Her first audio original drama, This Isn’t Happening (Audible, 2023), showcased her ability to craft immersive, character-driven narratives across formats using immersive sound design to tell a story in real-time.

Across her work, Anna is drawn to stories that explore hidden selves, the quiet violence of everyday life, and the roles women are asked to play. With a voice that’s both empathetic and razor-sharp, Anna Snoekstra continues to push the boundaries of genre to tell stories that are as thought-provoking as they are page-turning.
