Welcome to my website...

My name is Catherine Bateson and I write books for younger readers, as well as poetry, verse novels and books for young adults. I also teach Professional Writing and Editing at Gipps TAFE online, and co-run a spoken word event in Upwey, Victoria, called "The Word Tree". When I have time, I also love to meet the children who read my books, at writing festivals and as a writer in schools around Victoria.
Please enjoy my website, and don't forget to sign the visitors book!
