About Me

Anna Shumpert is an English teacher at Fountain Inn High School. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of South Carolina and an Master of Arts in Teaching Writing from Johns Hopkins University. In her spare time, she writes poetry and fantasy-based fiction. Her poetry has been published in The Rockvale Review and Poet's Choice literary magazines. Her poetry centers around religion, adoption, and motherhood, topics that she knows well as a transracial adoptive parent. Outside of teaching and writing, Anna enjoys camping and riding horses.  She teaches riding lessons after school at Pennington Farms Equestrian Center in Fountain Inn a few days a week. She resides in Fountain Inn, South Carolina with her husband of 13 years and three uniquely beautiful daughters who attend Rudolph Gordon School.
