About the BB

The Bloomsbury Bluestocking is a literary lady who works, studies and writes in the squares of WC1.

Channelling the blessed Virginia, she has a room, a laptop and a mind of her own. Her natural foraging ground is the Brunswick Centre Waitrose. She can be identified by some deeply felt hats and an attachment to navy blue hosiery. You might come across her supping real ale in The Lamb.

She draws inspiration from the British Library, the Wellcome Collection, the British Museum and the London Review Bookshop. She’s been known to nip into the Leigh Street chippy.

In the real world, she’s known as Anna Sayburn, and works as a medical journalist.
