Katja Kaine

Katja Kaine is a Singaporean German British author who writes fantasy stories with powerful, immersive narratives that fuse blended-culture worldbuilding, feminist themes, and pacey, high-stakes adventures. She is also the creator of the Novel Factory software for writers and the Novel Writing Roadmap, and has helped thousands of writers make leaps forward in their stories.

She has won multiple awards for writing, including the Northern Writers Northern Promise Award, the SCBWI Undiscovered Voices competition and has been shortlisted for the Bath Children's Award and the Write Mentor Novel-In Development Award. Her debut fantasy novel Blood of Gods and Girls was snapped up by Penguin Random House in a major six figure deal in 2024 and released Summer 2026. When not writing, Katja can be found exploring ancient forests with her labrador, bending into pretzel yoga shapes and raging against the patriarchy.
