I’m Kate Darbishire, best selling author, editor, and writing coach. I know what it's like trying to write a book when life is loud, time is short, and doubt rears its ugly head. I’ve lived the quiet mornings when a story feels impossible, the messy drafts that won’t behave, and the long waits between emails when you’re wondering whether any of this will ever come to something.

My own books have found their way into hundreds of schools and into the hands of thousands of young readers, but they started exactly where yours is: with uncertainty, false starts, and the stubborn belief that the story mattered anyway.
