Katherine Stansfield (Secretary)
Katherine Stansfield grew up on the wilds of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall and moved to Aberystwyth in 2002 to study English and Creative Writing at university. She has been there ever since, completing her BA in 2005 followed by an MA in Creative Writing in 2006, as part of which she was the first student intern at New Welsh Review. She is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, which she is hoping to complete shortly. Her thesis is a novel about change in Cornish fishing communities following the development of tourism, as a result of which she is an expert on the history of pilchard fishing in the county. As well as writing fiction she moonlights as a poet, evidence of which has appeared in New Welsh Review, Poetry Wales, and anthologies from both Leaf and Cinnamon Press. She teaches creative writing at Aberystwyth University and in the community.
