Katie Fforde height - How tall is Katie Fforde?

She is founder of the Katie Fforde Bursary for writers who have yet to secure a publishing contract. She was for many years a committee member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and was elected its twenty-fifth chairman (2009–2011) and later its fourth president. In June 2010 she was announced as a patron of the UK's first National Short Story Week. In 2016 she launched the Stroud Contemporary Fiction Writing Competition as part of the first Stroud Book Festival.

Many of Fforde's own experiences end up in her books. Her novel Going Dutch was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller in June 2007. She takes her research seriously. With each novel featuring different professions and backgrounds Fforde uses a 'method acting' style process using experiences such as being a porter in an auction house, making pottery, refurbishing furniture, examining the processes behind a dating website, and going on a Ray Mears survival course.
