Caroline Hardaker

Author. Poet. Novelist. Occasional librettist. Sporadic puppeteer. Caroline Hardaker lives in the north east of England and writes quite a lot of things, mainly dark and brooding tales exploring everything speculative, from folklore to future worlds. Caroline's debut poetry collection, Bone Ovation, was published by Valley Press in 2017, and her first full length collection, Little Quakes Every Day, was published by Valley Press in November 2020. Caroline's debut novel, Composite Creatures, was published by Angry Robot in April 2021. Her second novel -- due to be released in November 2023 -- will be announced soon. Caroline's poetry has been published worldwide, most recently in Magma, The Interpreter's House, The Emma Press, Neon Magazine, Shoreline of Infinity, Eyewear Publishing's Best New British and Irish Poets, and Contemporary British Poetry from Platypus Press.
