About me

I’m Anna Everts (they/them), a 28-year-old neurodivergent, non-binary freelance writer and sensitivity reader from the Netherlands. I’m also an Actual Play performer and a general jack of all trades.

Writing stories has always been a big part of my life. As a kid most of what I considered to be play was setting the stage for my toys, crafting a world and character backstories for them instead of actually using them. As a teen, I would spend most of my day writing with online friends through literature roleplay, using this as an escape from my problems. And as an adult, I completed my Bachelor in “Media, Information and Communication” (Bachelor of Arts degree, now called “Creative Business”) in 2018 and I’ve been a professional writer since 2020. I consider it a privilege that I get to make stuff up for a living .

When I’m not writing I like to stick my hands in other creative outlets, such as photography, painting, collage making, cosplay, and occasionally video editing. Other than that, I like going on long walks, consuming other media (and being so so normal about it), learning random facts, and thrift shopping.

You can buy some of my art and other things on Ko-Fi ,or just support me with a small donation!

I’m a white non-binary person with a red-brown mullet which has a blonde highlight and a half-blonde fringe. I have large square glasses, a nose ring, and I’m waring a deep blue button up with black leather vest. I’m seated near water and look up at the camera with a wide toothy smile.

The photo is taken from the waist up and from the side, and I'm leaning an elbow against a pillar with my hand behind my head as I look off into the distance with a bright smile.<br />

Comic debut

When I made my debut as a comic writer in 2020, I was suddenly asked for multiple interviews. Below you can find these interviews:

Your Life Sucks podcast

In december 2021 I was asked to be a guest on the Your Life Sucks podcast, which is a podcast about mental health. In this podcast, I talked about my experience with autism and depression. You can listen to it on Spotify.

Creator Talk

I was asked to be on Hoard of Tales’ creator talk, where I talked about my work in the TTRPG space as a writer, sensitivity reader, and actual play performer. You can watch it here.

Comix: Freshly Pressed

I was asked by Comix to talk about my work, where I get my inspiration from, and in general to chat about all things comics. You can watch this interview on Youtube.

Reads Rainbow

Reads Rainbow asked me to participate in a large interview called “Read the Room: Nonbinary Writers on the Future of Sci-Fi”. This interview consisted of twelve non-binary writers and we all gave our opinion on the sci-fi genre. You can read it here.

Moneybird

The Dutch bookkeeping website Moneybird asked me, as one of their users, to do an interview about my work. You can read it here (in Dutch).

Why Peculiar Planets?

I can hear you think: “what is a peculiar planet and why are there multiple of them?”

Good question! The name Peculiar Planets was created back when I was around 15 and wanted to, once again, change my twitter username. It doesn’t have a real meaning, but I guess it shows my love for space and alliterations. I liked the name so much that I changed all my social media handles to this name and even named my (now dead) blog after it. People recognise this name by now, so I decided to keep it and make it my brand.
