Dawn O’Porter is a writer and broadcaster who has worked across television, journalism, and fiction. Her debut novels, Paper Airplanes (2013) and its sequel Goose (2014), are YA stories about teenage friendship set in 1990s Guernsey. She later moved into adult fiction with The Cows, a novel about three women dealing with public shaming, motherhood, and societal expectations.
Her non-fiction includes This Old Thing, about vintage fashion and sustainability, and Life in Pieces, a collection of personal essays written during lockdown in 2020. O’Porter’s fiction tends to focus on female friendship and the pressures women face from public opinion, whether in a school setting or adult life. Her more recent novels, Cat Lady and Honeybee, continue this thread while moving in new directions.
