Annabel Youens writes for women who are done pretending everything’s fine. Women who’ve ticked the boxes, built the life, held it all together—and now find themselves asking questions they can’t ignore anymore. Her work speaks to that moment when the noise gets too loud, the expectations too heavy, and something inside you starts to shift. She writes fiction and essays that explore what it means to let go of old stories: about success, identity, motherhood, marriage, ambition, aging. Her debut novel, Thread Traveller, blends emotional realism with a speculative edge. It’s about falling out of your life—and finding something better than the plan. In her monthly author newsletter Annabel shares bookish TikToks and mid-life insights. Annabel’s Substack, Saved By The Spell, is where she writes about the messier side of midlife: creative burnout, waking up in your own skin, and the kind of magic that shows up when you finally stop rushing. Her debut novel *Thread Traveller* (Book 1 of a trilogy) received a Kirkus starred review and is a 2026 CANREADS Award Finalist in Women's Fiction. Before writing fiction, Annabel spent 25 years in tech as a co-founder and CMO. She lives on Vancouver Island with her husband, daughter, and cat Hubble.
