Kate Miller
I began writing poems as a child and have been exploring the world through words ever since.
After a career as a journalist and magazine editor, I took an MA in Creative Writing and Theatre at Essex University and set up a theatre company, Pins & Feathers Productions, with director and actor Richard Syms (www.pinsandfeathersproductions.com) . Our first show in 2012 was my play The Last Witch and since then we have mounted several productions, touring to venues in Hertfordshire and London, most recently The March in the autumn of 2018. In 2021 I worked with Teasel Productions to create a play for children, Book Sleuths in a Bind, which toured to libraries in Hertfordshire, as part of libraries’ reopening after the pandemic lockdowns.
My play texts have been published by Coverstory Books: Pins & Feathers – Three Plays, (https://coverstorybooks.com/pins-feathers-three-plays-kate-miller/) and I have also had poems published in a collection Triple Measures, from Coverstory.
As an editor, I’ve edited and seen through to publication six Hertford Writers’ Circle anthologies of members’ work. I offer editing services, particularly for writers who are seeking to self-publish their books, and run creative writing classes.
I’ve recently completed a novel – Death in the Kingdom of Pines – an offbeat murder mystery set in the French Alps in the 1930s – and am currently working on its sequel, provisionally entitled The Lake of Mirrors.
I have a blog Underfoot where I write regularly about my exploration of the natural world, history and art, based on my local walks: www.katemillerwriting.wordpress.com
More about my work, and samples to read, are on my website: www.katemillerwriting.co.uk
