edit data

I'm a writer based in East London. I left education in my teens to pursue a career as a musician. I have toured Europe extensively, made three studio albums, and worked as a composer with my tracks still regularly featured on TV and streaming services across the world. In my mid-twenties I found myself working in publishing quite by accident, and an admin temping job turned into a twelve-year career in which I worked with some of the biggest authors in the world. I'm the former producer of the Iceland Noir Literary Festival.

My debut novel, BITTER SWEET, will be published in July 2025. My second novel, BEGINNING. MIDDLE. END. will follow. ...more

Hattie Williams and 2 other people liked Vicki Duncan's review of Bitter Sweet: "I thought this book was incredible! It perfectly illustrates coercive control in all its glory and how easily you can find yourself trapped in a terrible relationship especially when power dynamics skew things.

Quotes by Hattie Williams (?)

“And so I sat and waited, again, watching other people arrive, get called, come back and go again. Women of all ages and walks of life. Women with children and women without. Women who looked more like children, and women who looked too old to be mothers. But here we all were, sitting, asking for the same thing, to make the same choice. A choice that was ours and ours alone.”
― Hattie Williams, Bitter Sweet

“When she died, I felt as if my world stopped turning. As if I was frozen in time. In the years and weeks and days since, when I’d think of her, I’d feel like a little girl, not a professional woman, not an independent adult. Every heartbreak, every flu, every birthday and Christmas, it would hit me, and it would, I guessed, for the rest of my life.”
― Hattie Williams, Bitter Sweet

“I was still trying to comprehend the enormousness of what I couldn’t feel, but the wine didn’t help. There must be something so wrong with me, I thought for the millionth time in my life. Normal people aren’t like this.”
