She managed a team of 11 in-house writers, and over 50 freelance bloggers producing some of the best British blogs on the web, including Catwalk Queen, Shiny Shiny, Tech Digest, Bridalwave and TV Scoop.

As a journalist, Katie has written for most of the major newspapers. She still does some writing work, producing a regular column for Look, Woman & Home and the Telegraph blog. She was the founding editor of Shiny Shiny – the first gadgets site for women.

When she’s not on the internet, she’s camping in her woodland in Kent or making yet another crochet blanket in front of the TV.  And then she blogs about it on her crochet blog, Good Hooking.
