Anne Packwood

AKA: Anne Hays Packwood

Born Near Ashland, NE (USA)

A self-described "farm woman," Anne Packwood wrote short stories at her 1913 Oliver typewriter only after her household duties were completed. She was often supervised by Squink, her little black cat.

About the possibility of writing a novel, Packwood said, "I have spent my time working on the technique of the short story, learning to reduce one from 39 to 18 pages. I don't see any reason for trying to work out a novel plot."

We appreciate corrections and additions to our information about authors, but please read the following guidelines and caveats carefully.

The Nebraska Authors database is based on publicly available sources. Unless you are the author contacting us in person, it helps us if you cite the source or sources of your information. We cannot include unsourced information in the database.
We may be appreciative of information we choose not to include in the publicly available database.
To include an image on an author profile, please send jpg attachment to nebraskaauthors@lincoln.ne.gov. A photo-release agreement is required before the image will be published on this site.
Because of the way we are staffed, expect corrections or additions to take time, sometimes up to three months.
While we initially included some actual links to external URLs in the database, we will in the future no longer provide functioning links. We will instead record the presence of specific external materials in language that we hope will help intelligent users find it themselves. Web rot, in which actual materials remain online but undergo changes in their URLs, is too demanding in terms of staff time for us to hope to keep external links current.

Please copy, fill out the form below, and email it to heritage@lincoln.ne.gov to suggest a change.
