Katie Allen

Katie Allen is a British journalist and author who began her career as a Reuters correspondent in Berlin and London before joining The Guardian and Observer as a journalist and columnist. Her journalism career focused on general reporting and commentary, with her official website noting she 'wasted too much time meandering on the web' during her newsroom days. After experiencing personal tragedy with the stillbirth of her son Finn in 2010, Allen transitioned to fiction writing, publishing her debut novel *Everything Happens for a Reason* in 2021. Her upcoming novel *Happy is the One* (2025) explores themes of parental illness and childhood loss. While no longer actively practicing journalism, Allen maintains connections to media through occasional TV appearances, including on Channel 4's *Pointless*.
