191. Katie Huttlestone, Debut Author

Hello and welcome to another episode of Off the Shelf.

My guest this week is Katie Hottleston.

Now, Katie is a disabled English literature teacher from Hertfordshire.

She has a dizzying list of previous achievements.

She's a Faber Academy alumna with a degree in English literature from the University of Reading and a PGCE from the University of Hertfordshire.

She was long listed for both the Blue Pencil Agency Pitch Prize and the Lucy Cavendish Prize for Fiction for her forthcoming novel, A Healthy Appetite, which we're here to discuss today.

And it's out on the 13th of August.

So congratulations and welcome to the show, Katie.

Thank you very much.

Really happy to be here.

It's a pleasure to have you.
