Katy Gilroy

Katy grew up in Merseyside, and studied journalism and creative writing in nearby Chester. She moved back home to live by the water and spent a few years working in hospitality, a job that definitely taught her the need for a good night’s sleep, while writing on the side. Now a full time content editor, she often gets creative on the topic of sustainability in various industries from sleep to travel and everything in between. When not working she loves to explore new cities both in the UK and abroad, snuggle up with a good book, and spend time in Liverpool with friends and family.
