Hi there! I’m Ania Ray —
a mama, CEO, author, wife, and world traveler.
I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you just binge-read The Cromwell Rules, heard me speak, or listened to a podcast episode of Her Life, Her Rules, I love that my books can make you fall in love with reading again and my work can empower you. It has been a dream come true to share my big ideas with you.
Creating the Rules, the third book in the interconnected standalone trilogy, where Anne Cromwell finally gets to tell her story, has been affecting my readers in the best way. I love hearing that Anne’s hard exterior is understood now that you REALLY know what happened.
When I’m not writing or learning, I’m hanging out with my husband and our 2.5-year-old daughter, planning our next adventure.
I love sharing updates on my writing, travels, and creative process in my monthly newsletter, The 23. Join me!
I’m also the CEO of Quill & Cup.
As co-founder and CEO of Quill & Cup, an international writing community for women, I help writers go from stuck to finished—without burnout. A former high school English teacher from Chicago, I earned my B.A. in Literary Studies and Master of Education from DePaul University in 2015. Since then, I’ve spent nearly a decade writing, editing, coaching, and guiding women to tell the stories that matter to them.
At Quill & Cup, I build, nurture, and protect our Hedgie House, leading curriculum development, member recruitment, retreat facilitation, and daily operations. I know the struggle of balancing writing with real life (especially as a new mama!), which is why I help writers make meaningful progress without breaking themselves in the process.
If you’re looking for a supportive, motivating community to help you finish your book, I’d love to welcome you inside the Quill & Cup Sisterhood.
