She grew up in a family of four children in West Flanders and went on to pursue Germanic studies at the linked universities of Kortrijk and Leuven.

She returned to Belgium in 1989 and worked part-time for an international exchange organisation, but after the success of her second novel, ''Falling'', she decided to become a full-time writer. Anne Provoost is known for remaking myths, folk tales, fairy tales, and bible stories. Once a year, she writes a letter to Hans Christian Andersen answering one of his stories.〔Read a translation of her second letter on (her website )〕 Apart from being a novelist, Provoost also writes essays on literature and children's literature〔''So here's the Bad News: the Child as Antagonist (2004) is available on (her website )〕 as well as short stories. Her work, originally published in Dutch, has been translated into many European languages as well as Afrikaans, Amharic, Arabic and Turkish.
