Anne Preven (born February 25, 1965) is an American songwriter, music publisher, and record producer.

As a member of the alternative rock band Ednaswap, she co-wrote "Torn" which was covered by Lis Sørensen (Danish), Trine Rein (Norwegian), and Natalie Imbruglia (Australian).

[4] As a songwriter, Preven has written for prominent music industry artists including Madonna, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Sinéad O'Connor, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Jordin Sparks, Zac Brown Band, Pnau, Andy Grammer, Lea Michele, Pixie Lott, and Westlife.

Her father, David Preven, is a psychiatrist in New York City, and she was a mental health-worker at age 17, where she spent time with depressed adolescents.

[6] Preven graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a self-designed major: "psychobiology."

[8] Cutler and Preven formed a band with Rusty Anderson, Paul Bushnell and Carla Azar in 1993.

Ednaswap signed a record deal in 1995, despite having only a few songs written and never having performed a full live set.

Madonna's version came out before Ednaswap had even received a record deal, and the song deviated from Preven's idea.

She worked with Cutler on Sinéad O'Connor's 2000 Faith and Courage, and on Mandy Moore's 2001 self-titled album.

Since then, she has worked with Katy Perry, Sinéad O'Connor, Demi Lovato, Jordin Sparks, Pixie Lott, Conway, Pnau, Adam Lambert, Lea Michele, Miranda Cosgrove, and Leona Lewis.

In 2011, Preven was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media for her collaboration with Zac Brown Band on "Where The River Goes" from the movie Footloose.

In 2015, she began writing and producing music for film and television beginning with two songs, "Come Clean" and "Dead Hider and Seeker," for the USA Network series Satisfaction.

In 2016, she produced cover versions of Nina Simone's "New World Coming" and Sia's "Hologram", that were featured in the second season of Amazon Prime's series Transparent.

[24][25] In 2017, Preven co-wrote the song "Zan Astam", featured in the Amazon Prime series I Love Dick.

[31] After forming a partnership with Fuji Music Group in 2014, PULSE expanded its client roster to include Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson, BØRNS, Gallant,[32][33] Starrah, El-P of Run The Jewels, DRAM (rapper), RY X, and Kaytranada among others.
