Well what do you want to know...

​Of course Kate Garrett is a writer, but she is also a mama, witch, editor, tarot reader, drummer, history nerd, horror lover, folklore obsessive, and heritage volunteer.

Her poetry and flash fiction have been widely published online and in print, and she is the author of several books. 

Her first full-length poetry collection, The saint of milk and flames, was published by Rhythm & Bones Press in April 2019. It is now unfortunately unavailable, but will resurface one day. Her seventh chapbook To Feed My Woodland Bones [A Changeling's Tale] was published in September 2019 by Animal Heart Press.

Another chapbook, A View from the Phantasmagoria, is forthcoming in autumn 2020, and her time-hopping historical poetry novella Hart & Halfpenny will be published by TwistiT Press in March 2021.

Kate has a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing (first class honours) from Sheffield Hallam University, and plans to do an MA in history or heritage (and with any luck, a PhD in folklore studies) once her babies are a little older. 

Kate's poetry has been nominated once for a Pushcart Prize, four times for Best of the Net, and The Density of Salt was longlisted for best pamphlet in the Saboteur Awards 2016. Her pamphlet You've never seen a doomsday like it was Poetry Kit book of the month for January 2018, and a Poetry Book Society Winter 2017 selection.

She is the founding editor of the online journals Three Drops from a Cauldron, Picaroon Poetry, Lonesome October Lit, and Bonnie's Crew (which are all on hiatus until at least 2021).

Kate is the Magical Editor for Mookychick magazine, and is also a contributing writer and editor at Pussy Magic.

She is a married mother of five human children and one cat-child, and lives in Sheffield, where she walks the winding rivers and always inhabits a between place in her heart.
