My first writing job was when I was twelve years old. A friend, Gretel Souter, and I began writing a column for our local newspaper called Pet of the Week.
My first novel, The Prize, began life as a film script, then as a biography and finally as a novel.

‘this is an elegantly written novel that has been packed with research, and that it is excellent to see a commercial novel bringing a bit of Australian queer history back into the public consciousness.’.
— Sian Cain | The Guardian Australia
’Anderson skillfully re-awakens 40s war time Sydney with honest colour, fully realized characters and an honesty that draws you in from page one.’
— Robert | Better Read Than Dead Bookshop
‘gripping, meticulously researched ... an urgent and fascinating read’.
