About
Kate Wiseman
My name is Kate Wiseman and I’m an author and mudlark. There’ll be more about mudlarking later, as well as information on my books and anything else I think might interest you. I grew up in Oxford in the 1970s and I was the first in my family to go to university, at the age of 38. It was a brilliant experience and I loved it so much, I went on to take a master’s degree as well. That gave me the courage to have a go at what I’d always dreamed of doing: being a writer. I love visiting schools to deliver creative writing workshops based on mudlarking and my books. Sometimes, I post my favourite stories from these workshops online. Click here to read some of them.
