​Heather Clark-Hope is a writer based in Ely, Cambridgeshire, but is originally from the Kentish seaside. Her work often delves into female viewpoints and untold stories, which she explores in both fiction and nonfiction. Heather has had her nonfiction articles published in Lead Jammer magazine and is currently pursuing an MA in Creative Writing through a part-time, distance learning program at Lancaster University. Currently, Heather is working on a historical novel set in Renaissance Italy.

A qualified English teacher with 20 years of experience, Heather has taught English Language and Literature in state, grammar, and independent schools.  One of the high points of her career was teaching A-Level Creative Writing, which alas no longer exists.  She is currently Head of an English department and holds the status of a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE). 

In her spare time, Heather enjoys roller skating, practicing yoga, spending time by the seaside and doting on her beloved cats.
