Author description

  Kate van Hooft was born and raised in Melbourne to an Aussie mum and Dutch dad. She lives with her husband Paul Carter, also a writer. Kate has a BA in Creative Writing from Melbourne Uni, a Master of Communications from Deakin, and is now completing a Master of Social Work. She has worked for more than ten years in student wellbeing and disability support in tertiary education. Kate is currently working as a disability advisor at Swinburne, while finishing her studies and writing. As a professional in the disability and education sector, Kate has become passionate about youth mental health and the way children, in particular, are 'pathologised before they are listened to'. We See the Stars is her first novel.
