HarperCollins released Anna David’s novel Party Girl in 2007, the same year that an essay of hers appeared in the Dutton anthology Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys. Party Girl was called “laugh-out loud hysterical and Capote elegant” by Permanent Midnight author Jerry Stahl, while Dr. Drew Pinsky decreed it “the most accurate portrayal of the experience of addiction and nuances of recovery I’ve come across.” The book has been translated into Russian and Italian and Sony Television has purchased the film rights. Harper Collins released Anna’s second novel, Bought, in May of 2009. Reality Matters, an anthology she conceived of, contributed to, and edited on reality shows, came out in April, 2010. She’s currently writing What I Say I Want, a memoir documenting a year of her life, also for Harper.

A professional member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), Anna holds an Associate in Sex Education Certificate from The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality and was the sex and relationship expert on G4’s Attack of the Show for four years. She’s been featured numerous times on The Today Show, Hannity, Red Eye (Fox News) and CNN’s Showbiz Tonight, as well as on various other programs on Fox News, NBC, MSNBC, CTV, MTV News, VH1 and E — usually either doling out relationship advice, offering incisive cultural commentary or simply discussing the personal lives of celebrities she doesn’t know. Her Sirius radio show, Sex Files, was the network’s number-one specialty show. Axe Body Spray, Date.com and Guthy-Renker are among the companies that have hired her for spokesperson jobs.

A contributor to Details and Maxim, Anna has been on staff at Premiere and Parenting, a fulltime freelancer for People and a contracted reporter for Us Weekly. Her investigative pieces on crystal meth use among film executives and high-class prostitution in Hollywood for Details prompted Liz Smith to praise her for “carving out a niche uncovering the seedy side of deluxe living.”

Anna’s celebrity cover stories, first-person essays, and reported pieces have appeared in The New York Times, The LA Times, Vanity Fair, Cosmo, Redbook, Self, Stuff, TV Guide, Movieline, Women’s Health, Ocean Drive, Vegas, Esquire UK, Teen Vogue, Variety, LA Confidential, Tatler and Emmy, among others. One of her first-person sex stories for Playboy was made into the reality show pilot Better Luck Next Town for TBS and she’s been written about by Gawker, Page Six, and The Marin Independent Journal and quoted in magazines like Life & Style, Men’s Health and Glamour.

When she’s not doing any of the above, Anna can probably be found rewriting her bio.
