Bio
Katie Ward always knew she wanted to write
for a living. However, she was told by her careers advisor that “it might be
more appropriate for you to work in a shop”. When Katie didn’t get the grades
she needed to get into college, she negotiated a three month trial. After
successfully completing the course she secured a place at her first choice
university to study Journalism.
After realising she wanted to be an author,
Katie moved to Dublin where she worked her way up from receptionist to
Executive Assistant at Merrill Lynch. Katie continued to write in her spare
time, submitting her short story into the “Do the Write Thing” competition
being run by Irish TV show ‘Seoige and O’Shea’. This story was originally
written when Katie was 14 after she was inspired by an article in her favourite
teen magazine. Katie was the only non-Irish author selected to have her story
published in an anthology of the same name which reached 19 in the Irish Best
sellers List. Katie was also shortlisted for a competition judged by MAN Booker
Prize winning author Roddy Doyle which was run by Metro Eireann newspaper.
Katie currently lives in Devon with her cat
(aka ‘Her Royal Fluffiness’) where she sings in a community choir and has
recently taken up Archery. Katie’s favourite author has been Roald Dahl since
she was a child as she loves the dark edge he brings to his books. On the flip
side though, Katie loves Disney, magic, unicorns and a good rom com film at the
cinema with her friends.
