Journalist
Kathryn Knight
After graduating from Oxford with a degree in English Literature,
I started my career as a news trainee on The Times newspaper before moving to the Express as a columnist and feature writer.
Following a four-year stint as feature writer at The Daily Mail and
Mail on Sunday I then went freelance, writing across national newspapers and magazines such as Red, The Radio Times and Saga.
I’m an accomplished interviewer and ghost writer of both celebrity and real-life case studies, as well as covering everything from lifestyle trends to hard-hitting news investigations.
EDITORIAL
I've interviewed people from all walks of life, from the rich and famous to those who aren't in the public eye but have a powerful,
emotive story to tell. Here are some recent samples from my broad portfolio:
Charlotte Rampling, Saga
Sanjeev Bhaskar, Saga
Nancy Dell'Olio, Daily Mail
Charlie, Daily Mail
Marie Helvin, Daily Mail
Belinda Steiner, Mail on Sunday
BOOKS
In 2010 I interviewed a woman called Chrissy Handy following her successful battle to bring to court the lover who had defrauded her of half a million pounds. I was struck by her courage and the enormous complexity of her story, of which fraud was only one part.
​
We both agreed that when the time was right it would be great to tell her story in book form, and a decade later we collaborated on ‘Seduced by a Sociopath’, published by Harper Collins in the summer of 2022.
​
Thanks to Chrissy’s courage and openness, you can now read her astonishing story for the first time.
