Menna was born in Bangor but spent a great deal of her childhood in Llanerfyl, Montgomeryshire, before moving to Pen-y-groes in Arfon. Soon after graduating in Welsh and completing an MPhil course at Bangor University, she worked in the journalistic field for some years – as arts sub-editor for Golwg to begin with (1988-91) and then as the editor of Barn (1991-6). From 1996 she worked independently writing, scripting and editing. She has published two volumes, Pum Awdur Cyfoes: Cyflwyniad i Fyfyrwyr Ail Iaith (Camfa, 1997) and Yng Ngolau’r Lleuad: Ffaith a Dychymyg yng Ngwaith Caradog Prichard (Gomer, 2005), the latter reaching the longlist for Wales Book of the Year 2006. Menna is one of four co-editors of The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales (University of Wales Press, 2007).
