Because of the documentary and her following on Facebook and other online networks, she is often called the "People's Author". Lamott's life was documented in Freida Lee Mock's 1999 documentary Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott. She has one son, Sam, who was born in August 1989 and a grandson, Jax, born in July 2009. Her first published novel Hard Laughter was written for him after his diagnosis of brain cancer. Her father, Kenneth Lamott, was also a writer. She was a student at Goucher College for two years where she wrote for the newspaper. Lamott was born in San Francisco, and is a graduate of Drew School. Lamott's writings, marked by their self-deprecating humor and openness, cover such subjects as alcoholism, single-motherhood, depression, and Christianity. Her nonfiction works are largely autobiographical. Lamott is based in Marin County, California.
She is also a progressive political activist, public speaker, and writing teacher. Anne Lamott (born April 10, 1954) is an American novelist and non-fiction writer.
