Annie Lane grew up in California before heading east at the age of 18. She graduated with honors from New York University, where she majored in English literature and specialized in psychology. After NYU, she earned her Juris Doctor from New York Law School.
A lifelong learner, Annie has held a variety of jobs, including working in a law firm and for a federal magistrate. She is a certified yoga instructor with sales experience from an internet-advertising startup. Because of her great love for books and writing, Annie has also worked for Barnes & Noble and freelanced for various publications.
Since July 2016, Annie has been offering common-sense solutions to everyday problems in her internationally syndicated column, “DEAR ANNIE.” Her advice is unusually perceptive. She is sympathetic, funny and firm—echoing the style of her biggest inspiration, Ann Landers.
Annie lives outside Manhattan with her husband, two kids and two dogs. When she is not writing, she devotes her time to play dates and Play-Doh.
