Hi! I’m Katie

Katie Jamila was raised in Delaware, where she spent most of her adolescence after moving around various states. She completed her B.A. in English at the University of Delaware and her M.A. in Strategic Communications at Hawai’I Pacific University. After spending two years in NYC, she is back in Delaware working in Academic Publishing. From childhood, reading has always been her escape; harboring a love for the deeply misunderstood characters, the women filled with rage, intricate fantasy worlds, and the beauty of romance.

As a biracial author, she writes the stories she wish she had and the characters she always wanted to see. Her biggest hope is that you find something within her books: a dream, hope, love, or the feeling of being understood.

When not reading or writing, you can find Katie re-watching her favorite TV shows or movies obsessively, listening to her favorite music (including Taylor Swift), or lying on the floor with her pets, dreaming about fictional men and a love story of her own.
