• Anne Billingsley, PhD

    CEO

    I’m an avid writer, researcher and educator. When I was in eighth grade, a children’s book I wrote and illustrated won the Grand Award in Language Arts at the Shawnee Mission School District’s Research and Development Forum, and I’ve been killing it ever since.

    I’ve been known to dabble in scientific research, armchair archaeology, and geologic surveys. I teach Environmental Systems to some pretty awesome students.

    I write short fiction, auto-fiction, memoir, the occasional screenplay, scientific research papers, grants, engaging lesson plans, to-do lists… listen, if it comes with a steady paycheck, I’ll write whatever you want.

    SR. CONTENT MANAGER

    A writer and educator, I have written short stories and one novel, but my heart is for poetic forms. I love cats, the color green, synthetic fur, Murder, She Wrote and the goodbye sip at the end of a cup of coffee.
