Kate Hazel Hall // Debut YA Author

Today's episode is with Kate Hazel Hall - Author and University Lecturer. 

Kate is an esteemed author who is launching her first novel, From Darkness in November 2020, published by Duet Books, the Young Adult imprint of Interlude Press in New York City. She has published short stories and creative non-fiction for adults, but YA fiction is where her heart is—especially fantasy, magical realism, and speculative YA with a healthy amount of Sapphic romance built in. When she isn’t writing, Kate often sneaks off to the forest or the beach with a sketchbook and a surfboard. Despite wearing out several wetsuits, Kate is yet to gain her advanced surfer qualifications, but she does have a PhD in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia. She works and writes on Wadawurrung country, teaching graduate research skills, genre studies and ecological fiction. Kate lives with her daughters and the world’s naughtiest rescue cat in a small coastal town, just across the Southern Ocean from Antarctica.
