Anne Spry

Anne Spry is the founder of Personal Chapters Publishing. She is also a journalist, published author, blogger, vlogger, and veteran volunteer. Since 2016, Anne and business partner Cheri Battrick have dedicated time and effort to developing products and methods to help individuals capture their life stories. They are also involved in developing a master class for journaling through traumas called Writing to Heal: Journaling with Jesus to Find Perspective and Hope.

Personal Chapters Publishing began when Anne helped Author Kim Luke format her first two books. She found so much satisfaction from helping Kim and becoming her friend, that she decided to help other authors navigate the complexities of birthing a book. Anne is a former newspaper editor and publisher who lives in rural Kansas with husband Wayne, three dogs and a cat. 

Her own books include Seeking Summer: A Solved but Unresolved Missing Persons Case and, most recently, Finally Noticing: Poems and Photos Prompted by a Pandemic.
