Professional writer and young adult author, Kate Conway, has been a journalist since 1999, an editor, graphic designer, critique partner for other writers, and book reviewer.

She also travels, teaching her wildly popular fiction craft classes.  She runs the blog site StoryRebels.com, which is dedicated to the many teenaged storytellers she has had the pleasure of meeting and teaching. 

She serves on the Board of Directors for the Cape Cod Writers Center, is a professional member of the SCBWI, and has been named “Writer in Residence” by the award winning Sturgis West high school in Hyannis, MA. She has been featured on television, in newspapers and magazines, and on National Public Radio.

Her debut novel UNDERTOW, became an Amazon bestseller in January of 2014 and was added to high school summer reading lists. It has spawned fan fiction on WattPad, won top-pick awards by book reviewers, and drawn reluctant readers into a dark tale of murder and mayhem set on Cape Cod.

She lives on Cape Cod with her two children and husband, two dogs (adept at both flatulence and snoring), and a cage-defiant lovebird that sleeps in a miniature tent.
