Katie Fforde

Your Masterclass Leader is Sunday Times Bestselling author Katie Fforde!

On Friday afternoon, your masterclass will be led by regular Sunday Times Bestseller and former President of the Romantic  Novelist Association, Katie Fforde.

Katie lives in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with her family, and is a true country girl at heart. Each of her books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her bring these to life. She’s been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray Mears survival course.

 

She loves being a writer; to her there isn’t a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. She particularly enjoys writing love stories. She believes falling in love is the best thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories.

Katie has written over 30 novels, four of which have been #1 on the Sunday TImes Bestseller list. You can find out more about her here. Her latest novel, From London With Love, is available to pre-order now
