Anaïs Godard is a Franco-American writer, artist and advocate, committed to amplifying underrepresented voices in literature and beyond. A 2024 fiction fellow at both Idyllwild Arts and Women Who Submit, her work has appeared in Mensa Bulletin, WoW, Flash Fiction Magazine, and Beyond Words Lit Mag. With a Master's in Linguistics and Semiotics from La Sorbonne, Anaïs likes to explore the connections between myth and reality, telling stories inspired by her experiences as a survivor, immigrant, and mother of twins– one of whom has cerebral palsy.

​

During her career in television, Anaïs co-founded @nastywomenLA, an advocacy group supporting women and marginalized voices in the arts. Her activism is also evident in her participation in major exhibitions like WE RISE in LA and through her contribution to Uncharted Magazine. When she’s not writing or editing, you can find her exploring LA's libraries and other fantastical realms with her children.
