Kate Wiseman

Kate was a late developer, attending university to study English and Creative Writing in her late 30s. She was one of the real life 'Ritas' featured on the Radio 4 Woman's Hour Programme commemorating the anniversary of the play, Educating Rita. Kate is a dedicated and licenced mudlark who is never happier than when she is up to her eyes in mud. She has won several literary awards and this year judged the historical fiction and biography category of the prestigious Eyelands International Book Awards.
