The Anne Boleyn Files

In August 2011 The Anne Boleyn Files held a special article competition inspired by Sandra Byrd’s novel, “To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn”, which told Anne Boleyn’s story through the eyes of her childhood friend and lady, Meg Wyatt.

Entrants had to write about a Tudor character, other than Anne Boleyn, who fascinated them. The brief was that the article should contain a brief bio plus an explanation of why the writer found the character so interesting. Our judges picked one overall winner who won a $50 Anne Boleyn Files voucher and a copy of “To Die For” and four runners-up who won copies of the novel.

The judges enjoyed reading every single article so a big thank you to all who entered.
