Anya Wassenberg

My writing in the realm of fiction has leaned towards literary short fiction, including romantic erotica in a literary vein as well as what I'd call urban realism. I've been a published writer for nearly four decades.

In addition to fiction writing, I'm the full-time Toronto City Editor for an online music, arts, and culture magazine. For three decades, I worked as a freelance writer with a strong specialty in arts, culture, travel, and the ways they intersect.

My writing on arts and culture, including posts from my blog Art and Culture Maven, and published pieces in Huffington Post, among others, have been cited and appear in the bibliography of several academic publications and books, including a paper published in 'AnthroSource,' Published by the American Anthropological Association (February 2018), and books such as 'Global Africa: Into the Twenty-First Century' (Dorothy Hodgson, ‎Judith Byfield - Univ of California Press, Aug 1, 2017).

I appreciate the fact that many musicians and other artists have included excerpts of my reviews in their PR material, including several members of the American Composers Forum.
