My name is Cathrin Hagey (she/her) and I live in the beautiful, and often overlooked, Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

Once upon a time I took degrees in mathematics and education, and then went on to have children and school them at home. When they grew up, I began caring for and training rescue dogs. In midlife I started writing stories for children and adults, becoming an editor and columnist at Luna Station Quarterly in 2014. Though I rarely blog these days, this site contains posts dating back more than a decade, including many of the fairy tale articles I wrote for LSQ.

I’ve been longlisted for Mslexia’s Children’s and Young Adult Novel Award, the Bath Flash Fiction Award, the Fractured Lit Flash Fiction Prize, and the CBC Nonfiction Prize (twice). I’ve also been shortlisted for CANSCAIP’s Writing for Children Award, picture book division. I’m currently writing middle grade stories and querying agents.
