About the Author

Kate Hattemer

Hello, and thanks for visiting my Amazon page!My name's Kate Hattemer, and I'm the author of the YA novels THE VIGILANTE POETS OF SELWYN ACADEMY and THE LAND OF 10,000 MADONNAS. My debut MG novel, HERE COMES TROUBLE, is forthcoming from Knopf this spring.When I'm not writing, I'm probably reading. My favorite authors (in no order whatsoever) include Roald Dahl, Anne Tyler, Richard Russo, Ann Patchett, Katherine Heiny, Curtis Sittenfeld, Jhumpa Lahiri, Zadie Smith, Sophie Kinsella, Ovid, Catullus, L.M. Montgomery, Dodie Smith, and J.K. Rowling.I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, earned a Classics degree at Yale University, and now live near Washington, D.C., where I teach high school Latin. I love teaching, languages, and teenagers, so my job is a lot of fun. Plus, I get to coach, aka play, several varieties of nerdy, buzzer-based, trivia games. Yesss.I also enjoy running, biking, hiking, four square, wiffle ball home run derby, etc.: basically anything that involves moving while outside! I'm currently shredding my fingertips as I try to teach myself to play acoustic guitar. I dislike cats, mushrooms, and cynicism (though I love sarcasm) (...or do I? ) .Check out my author website (www.katehattemer.com) or my Instagram (@katthatt) to get in touch and find out more about me and my books!
