Katie Ward is an author and creative writing lecturer in Suffolk. Her debut novel, Girl Reading, was published in the UK (Virago 2011), US (Scribner 2012) and South Korea (박하 Bakha 2014). Girl Reading was a Cactus TV Book Club selection and a book of the week on The Oprah Blog. She received the Clarissa Luard Award in 2013 from Hilary Mantel. Katie’s second novel, Pathways, is published by Fleet (Little, Brown UK 2024). The themes of this book include: neuroscience, philosophy, connections, and self-imagery. Inspired by the hard problem of consciousness, Pathways is – unexpectedly – a love story. Katie says this: 'Novels are intimate. They are an opportunity to share a point of view, to show and feel what cannot easily be explained. Some ideas are too intriguing and multifaceted to ignore: you stick with them because there is more you need to know. You’re trying to get as close as possible to your characters and story, until they are revealed. You can struggle with a manuscript for years, and eventually it’s finished because you’ve found the answers you were looking for. Then your novel goes out into the world and it becomes a mystery again.'
