S.K. Holder writes immersive science‑fiction, fantasy and supernatural stories that blend high‑stakes adventure with big questions about technology and humanity. A proud Kent native now settled in Essex, she pairs her author life with a day job as a digital‑experience specialist—so when she isn’t on a star‑cruiser or chasing rogue AIs on the page, she’s designing the online worlds people explore in real life.
After earning a BA in Social Sciences & Computer Studies from London Metropolitan University, S.K. discovered that code and story share the same heartbeat: curiosity. That spirit led her to join the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators and to publish across multiple genres, from adult science fantasy to middle‑grade adventures.

A Day in the Writing Life
Mornings start with a ruthless email triage and a strong flat white. Evenings are sacred: one to two focused hours revising weekend pages, outlining the next chapter, or solving a stubborn plot bug. Weekends? Noise‑canceling headphones, a playlist of cinematic scores, and marathon drafting sessions with a strategic chocolate‑biscuit supply.
Whether she’s building a digital interface or a distant galaxy, S.K. Holder lives by one rule: make it an experience readers (and users) never forget.
