Kate Coldrick – Writing & Reflections

Welcome – this site gathers together the different strands of my writing life. I explore literacy, reading for pleasure, children’s books, neurodiversity, creativity, photography and the ways that place shapes learning. Across several interconnected websites, I share essays, reflections, photo-led pieces and longer-form writing rooted in curiosity, quiet observation and a deep sense of place.

About this site

This site is a simple, curated gateway to my writing and creative work. Instead of hosting long-form articles here, it links to the places where I write in depth – whether that’s children’s books, inclusive education, photography or personal reflections.
