This is a fantastic collection of short pieces, both in the sense this word has become to mean and in its real meaning. I think that Mindscapes is about writing, love, getting to know yourself, beliefs and probably other things too.

Anca describes her fiction as “slightly surreal; introspective”. It’s certainly that but more: any would-be so-called ‘creative writer’ should read it.

I’ve been dipping into it each day since it arrived, one mindscape a day. I wouldn’t recommend more; each is worthy of at least a day to assimilate and begin, perhaps, to understand. One dip is not enough and I’m happy to have it on my bookshelf to dip into again and again.

Hi, I’m Anca

I’m a writer with an NCTJ-accredited BA (Hons) in Journalism & Media Studies and an MA in Marketing from the University of Portsmouth 🇬🇧

I’ve worked in editorial and marketing roles across tech, travel, and trade & academic publishing, self-published two books, and moved countries twice since I started writing here *waves from Italy*

This blog has been my digital home since my uni days, witnessing my evolution from short stories of all kinds (see Fiction!) to a solid copywriting and content writing portfolio I couldn’t be more proud of.

These days, you’ll mainly find me on Substack, where I write Ancaffeinated – a newsletter about my life with tight deadlines and a clingy sausage dog who follows me everywhere.

Feel free to connect with me anywhere, though, I love hearing from you. Welcome to my playground! 📚✨

Let’s connect!
