Hi, friends!

I’m Anna Rollins, author of Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl (out December 9, 2025 from Eerdmans).

My groundbreaking debut memoir examines the rhyming scripts of diet culture and evangelical purity culture, both of which direct women to fear their own bodies and appetites.

I’m a Christian who believes in community, civil rights, and care. I’ve worked to deconstruct beliefs that stem from the health and wealth gospel, patriarchy, and fundamentalism. And I’ve reconstructed a faith that is not obsessed with certainty or rules, but in the radical love and forgiveness offered by Jesus Christ.

I’m a lifelong Appalachian, and I live with my husband in West Virginia where we’re raising our three small children.

I’m an award-winning instructor who taught English and directed the Writing Center at Marshall University for nearly 15 years.

My writing has appeared in outlets like The New York Times, Slate, Electric Literature, Salon, Joyland, and more. I’ve also written a number of scholarly articles about composition and writing center studies.
