Anne Tezon Spry

Anne Tezon Spry started her writing career as a newspaper editor and publisher. While operating a small town newspaper she published a book written by her mother, Peggy Peterson, who died before she could complete it. That book led to helping clients publish family histories.

Once Anne sold her newspaper, she published a book of her own, "Letters from Home: Adventures with Mad Mother, Lemonade Man and The Kid," a collection of humor columns from her many years at the newspaper. That soon led to helping other clients publish their memoirs.

When her second husband died, the author began facilitating memoir groups with a system of memoir writing prompts she and a friend developed. Meanwhile, Anne published a few of her own books, one with a co-author called "Rebuilding Your Life After the Death of a Spouse." When she remarried in October of 2018 and became Anne Spry, she and a co-author published "Searching for Summer: A Solved but Unresolved Missing Persons Case."

From her new home in Kansas, Anne continues to learn about book publishing and facilitates a local memoir writing group. She is an expert on multi-tasking and being overwhelmed, but there are just so many new things to experience and learn. She just can't seem to put a lid on her eagerness and joy. She writes two blogs, is learning to sing harmony with a local barbershop group and visits her grandchildren weekly. She is now working on a memoir of her years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Brazil and hopes to help a friend develop a writing for healing effort.
