Kate Traill Price is a produced television screenwriter and debut novelist with a second life as the laird of one of BritainтАЩs most remote islands.
A French graduate of the University of Exeter and fluent speaker, she began her career in journalism, writing for national magazines including Zest and Eve, before retraining as a screenwriter at the University of the Arts London, where she graduated with a MasterтАЩs degree in Screenwriting.
She has since built a television career (writing as Kate Traill) across some of BritainтАЩs best-loved drama series, with credits including Sister Boniface Mysteries (BritBox/BBC) and Father Brown (BBC), and has had original projects optioned and in development with CBBC and Audible. She is a BAFTA Connect member and is represented for screen by Kitson Press Associates.
In parallel, Kate has developed a literary career rooted in the remote landscapes and communities she knows most intimately. Her debut novel Rinona is currently on submission to major UK publishers, with interest from leading imprints.
The other world Kate inhabits is Orkney. Having inherited the lairdship of the North Ronaldsay Estate, on the most remote of OrkneyтАЩs inhabited islands, she serves as a director of its charitable trust, is a trustee of the Orkney Sheep Foundation, and founded the North Ronaldsay Sheep Festival, an annual conservation event that attracts volunteers from around the globe to preserve the islandтАЩs rare and ancient seaweed-eating sheep breed, and its traditional farming way of life.
It is this collision between the writersтАЩ room and the wind-battered shoreline, and between narrative craft and raw community life, that informs everything Kate does, and makes her a unique voice on place, storytelling, remote conservation, and the creative life lived between worlds.
KateтАЩs work and expertise have brought her to national and international media, with appearances on BBC Countryfile, BBC Scotland and Sky News, and interviews on BBC Radio Scotland and Radio Orkney. She has also written about island life and conservation for Scottish Islands Explorer and The Orcadian.
