Welcome
Hello! This is my site, I'm Catherine Johnson and I'm a writer and screenwriter.
I've written lots of books for young readers including Arctic Hero, A Nest of Vipers and Face Value.
I've got two books out right now, The Nightmare Card, a short modern, spooky story for Barrington Stoke, and Brave New Girl, my first ever funny book. It's also the first book I have ever written that is set in the future, not the far future, 2012, just before the Olympics and the action takes place in Hackney, London, where I live.
I also write for film and TV, including Bullet Boy, with Saul Dibb, and dramatic bits for Simon Schama's Rough Crossing on BBC2.
I’m currently working on a fabulously seventies story for TV, with great hair and a fantastic soundtrack.
I've worked abroad for the British Council in Albania and Malawi as well as being writer in residence in Holloway prison and writing occasional columns for The Observer and The Guardian. I do loads of workshops in schools and libraries all over the country and this year have been a Royal Literary Fellow at The University of East London.
