“To survive, you must tell stories” – Umberto Eco
Kate Thompson Davy is a full-time writer and editor. She’s worked in journalism since 2006, freelance since 2013. Kate’s contributed hundreds of articles to top publications including the Financial Mail, Business Day, Woman & Home, CFO SA, SA Homeowner, and the Sunday Times. She also helps companies shape their communications, as well as editing financial analysis. She’s dabbled in all genres – you can still find old episodes of her podcast, It Happened Here, on Spotify – but her first love is reading fiction, and now, trying her hand at writing it. Kate hails from the Eastern Cape originally. She has a Bachelors in Journalism from Rhodes University, a Masters from the University of the Witwatersrand, two elderly dogs, an unhealthy obsession with Fleetwood Mac, and a headache from writing in the third person.
