Anaïs Godard is a Franco-American writer, artist, and advocate. A 2024 fiction fellow at Idyllwild Arts and Women Who Submit, her work appears in Mensa Bulletin, WoW, Flash Fiction Magazine, and Beyond Words Lit Mag. With a Master’s in Linguistics and Semiotics from La Sorbonne, she explores the intersection of myth and reality, crafting narratives shaped by her experiences as a woman, mother of twins—one with cerebral palsy—immigrant, and survivor.

A former TV producer, Anaïs co-founded @nastywomenLA, championing women and marginalized voices in the arts. Her activism extends to major exhibitions like WE RISE LA and editorial work with Arte Magazine and Uncharted Magazine. When not writing, she’s exploring LA’s libraries and other fantastical worlds with her children.
