Anna Simpson

Background

I wrote for India’s science and environment magazine Down To Earth, edited WENnews for Women’s Environmental Network, and penned all the gory and glorious details for a series of gynae factsheets, before joining Green Futures in 2009. Now my time is split between commissioning, writing and editing stories from the frontline of green innovation, and the never-ending search for new ways to inspire and engage with our readers. We’re building strong partnerships with other media, including The Guardian, Grist and GOOD, and will soon be launching the GF Inspire iPhone app... watch this space!

I have a 1st class degree in English and French from Oxford University, and a Masters in Gender Studies from SOAS.

My dream project? A series of taboo-teasing features. We’ve done sustainable sex… what next?

What floats by boat outside work? I run marathons and play the violin with Fulham Symphony Orchestra and Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra. Lots of things make me happy: a quick dip in a river; a sunny afternoon in Yorkshire Sculpture Park; crumble and custard.
