Louise Baty

Louise has worked as a journalist for consumer magazines and national newspapers for more than 20 years, specialising in emotional true life first-person stories along with parenting and lifestyle features. She has authored four non-fiction books on parenting and grandparenting for Summersdale and has also worked as a ghost writer for the Hachette Book Group. Having recently joined Future as a senior writer for Woman's Own, Woman and Chat, she loves giving people a voice and never tires of hearing about their experiences. Originally from West Yorkshire and now based in Nottinghamshire, Louise is a mum of two and also devoted to her fur baby, Poppy the cavapoochon (yes, that is an actual dog breed!) On days off, she can usually be found in a dog-friendly coffee shop or in the Notts countryside with her brood.
