About Me

KateI'm a writer. I've had short stories published in Storyglossia and Momaya Press and my story 'Star's Jar' has been chosen for inclusion in The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime, April 2010. I recently won first prize in the July 2010 Sentinel Poetry competition. I'm currently writing my first novel, a nineteenth-century gothic thriller called The Fleshworks. I'm represented by Allan Guthrie at Jenny Brown Associates.

I did my PhD in English Literature at Harvard and lectured there for a year before returning to the UK. I've taught English and Creative Writing in the US, the UK, and at a small school in Uganda. Now I teach at Lancaster University for the Department of English & Creative Writing. I hope you enjoy this website! Please feel free to contact me.
