Meet Anna Cooper
I'm a wife, a mother, a surrogate x2, a Route 91 survivor, and now—somehow—a published author.
For years, I've found myself saying, "You cannot make this shit up." Eventually, I decided to write it all down.
My debut memoir, You Cannot Make This Shit Up, is a collection of the moments that shaped me—the beautiful ones, the heartbreaking ones, and the ones so ridiculous that even I have trouble believing they happened.
I believe there's power in telling your story, even when it's messy, uncomfortable, or completely unfiltered.
And if there's one thing life has taught me, it's that sometimes you have to laugh just to get through it.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm glad you're here. 💚
You Cannot Make This Shit Up
Some stories are too unbelievable to be fiction.
Unfortunately, this one is all true.
A raw, unfiltered, darkly funny memoir about motherhood, heartbreak, unimaginable loss, survival, and finding the courage to start over.
Available October 25, 2026.
Personally signed paperback copies available for $18.
