  Beatrice Colin

  I'm a novelist/radio dramatist. I've written seven novels (two for children) and numerous plays for BBC Radio 4.
  
  My last novel, To Capture What We Cannot Keep was published in late 2016/early 2017.
  
  I am inspired by new places and old books, snatches of conversation and boards on Pinterest (seed catalogues from the 19th century!) I am a list-maker, a grower, on a good year, of fruit and vegetables, a walker of old paths and a mother of teenagers.
  
  Writing novels helps me to discover something new - about the world, about history, about myself.

  Laura Morelli

  The first time I visited Venice as a wide-eyed teenager, I knew I was supposed to buy Murano glass, but I had no idea why.
  
  All I knew was that I was whisked to the famous “glass island” on an overcrowded, stinky boat. I waited behind two dozen American and Japanese tourists to pay an exorbitant price for a little glass fish—what a bewildering experience!
  
  Still, it was the artistic traditions of the world that inspired me to study the past. Living in Europe and Latin America, I realized that in many places, centuries-old craft traditions are still living traditions.
  
  So began my quest to discover craftspeople passing on a special kind of knowledge to the next generation.

  I grew up in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, not far from Tinker Creek, the one made famous by the writer Annie Dillard. I have always been a reader, and as a kid I snuck off into the woods with a Nancy Drew mystery tucked in my bag.
  
  Today, I'm an award-winning journalist and author known for highly researched reporting and cultural essays. My writing has been widely published in places like The New York Times, Harper’s, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post Magazine, among many others.
  
  My first book Claire McCardell: The Designer Who Set Women Free is due out from Simon & Schuster on June 17, 2025.
