Matilde Pratesi grew up in Italy and moved to London in her early twenties. Once there, she immersed herself in the literary community, writing in forums that met online and around the pub table, taking courses in local community hubs and working men’s colleges. After postponing the second year of her MA in Creating Writing at Birkbeck University of London because of the onset of the Covid pandemic, she decided to try her hand at writing a novel. If writing fiction fills up her evenings and weekends, it’s copywriting for the advertising industry that fills up her weekdays. And when all the writing has been done, she enjoys exploring the countryside around London with her wife and daughter.
