Cate Whittle
Author of Children’s Fiction
based in ACT
Cate Whittle writes for children and young adults, mostly about magic and mystery, but filled with adventure and just a tiny touch of mayhem. There are often dragons.
Cate was lucky enough to live and travel in many exotic and exciting places as a child, but has lived in Australia since her early teens. She is still wondering what to do when she grows up, is searching for the wardrobe door that leads to Narnia, and spends a lot of time daydreaming.
Her most recent books include two fully illustrated stories for young readers about Millie, the cutest puppy in the world: New Home, and Dance Concert, both of which look at family, friends, kindness, and the need to fit in, and Starberries and Kee, a solar-punk, climate-fiction adventure for middle grade readers.
Other than writing stories, Cate likes reading, going for long walks, taking too many photos, pottering in gardens, and drawing pictures. She is a confirmed pluviophile, believes in dragons, and thinks a nice hot cup of tea helps with most things.
