About Kate

Kate Castle is an English writer. She is best known as the author of the best-selling young adult adventure novel Girl Island - winner of two 2022 Golden Crown Literary Society 'Goldie' Awards (Debut Novel and Young Adult Fiction) and two 2021 Lesfic Bard Awards. Her next novel, Letters From the Apocalypze - a young adult zombie apocalypse thriller - will be released in 2024, followed by The Coven - a dark, dystopian new adult adventure novel - in 2025.

Kate's books fall into the young adult and new adult adventure, thriller, and horror categories and always feature a sapphic romance subplot. Kate is passionate about representing young LGBTQ+ females in mainstream literature and writes immersive, fast-paced stories populated with fierce, independent, queer young women - the kind of characters she wished she could have read more about growing up.

Kate lives in London, England, with her family, two cats, and a dog called Teddy.
