Catriona Ward

In this episode hear Olly Belcher, President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Catriona Ward who came up to the Hall in 1999 to read English.  After her A-levels, Cat wrote to several Oxford Colleges explaining that her results weren’t that good but she was commended for her English exam.  It was the warmth of Teddy Hall’s reply that made her apply.  After Teddy Hall, Cat hoped to be an actress and went to drama in New York.  She has since become a well known horror novelist writing five novels and receiving numerous awards.
