Sorrel Pitts

'A very promising writer.' - Sir Michael Parkinson.

Sorrel Pitts grew up in the ancient English landscape of Wiltshire, which is a strong presence in her writing. She worked as a magazine editor before moving overseas to teach English in Turkey and Spain. On her return to the UK she became Commissioning Editor for Macmillan Publishers and Editorial Manager for Oxford University Press. She is now living back in Wiltshire and is a freelance editor and writer. Her current key role is Series Editor for PRH’s Penguin and Ladybird Readers series.

Sorrel has written numerous educational adaptations for Harper Collins, Oxford University Press and PRH including Ian McEwan’s The Children’s Act and Mario Puzo's The Godfather – which won the international Extensive Reading Foundation Award – and John Le Carre’s The Night Manager (both PRH) as well original stories Nuala and Champion (Stand For Publishers) and The Scissor Man Caves (PRH). (Note that many of Sorrel's educational titles are published under her pen name of Anna Trewin)

Sorrel’s debut novel THE RIVER WOMAN was published in September 2011 by Indigo Dreams Press. Sir Michael Parkinson described it as ‘a fascinating story written by a very promising writer'.

On February 6th, 2024, Sorrel's new novel BROKEN SHADOWS was published by Bloodhound Books.
