International Author
Kate Pullinger
Kate was born in Cranbrook, BC and went to high school on Vancouver Island. She attended McGill University in Montreal. She planned to study philosophy and literature but dropped out, instead, after a year and a half. Kate moved to Yukon and began work in a copper mine where she crushed rocks. Kate saved her money and left to travel to London, England where she has been ever since.
In London, Kate began lecturing and writing at several institutions including Battersea Arts Centre, and HMP Gartree and Maidstone. She currently teaches on the MA in Creative Writing and New Media at De Montfort University, Leicester, where she is Royal Literary Fund Virtual Fellow.
She continues to become an extremely diverse writer and had this to say about her career and life.
"I write for the usual mix of reasons – compulsion, attempting to order the world around me, for the love of stories, of words on pages, for the love of a good, dark, sometimes funny, serious, look at the world we live in. I’m interested in tackling different forms and have written novels and short stories – I remain a devotee of the short story as a somewhat neglected, gorgeous, form – as well as working on more collaborative projects – screenplays, works for the web and computer, as well as, most recently, radio drama. London has always been a big source of inspiration for me as a writer; I’ve lived here all my adult life and continue to be amazed by its diversity, harshness, and warmth."
Her bibliography begins in the year 1988 with a book called Tiny Lies and ends with The Mistress of Nothing in 2009. She has written around 15 published books and many other screenplays and radio dramas.
