About me
Cathy Otten is an award-winning British journalist and author formerly based in Iraq. Her book, With Ash On Their Faces: Yezidi Women and the Islamic State, was published in the US by OR books in 2017. It was described by the The Los Angeles Review of Books as: "The best kind of humanist journalism: lucid, transparent, grimly realistic.… (N)o book has covered it better.” When not reporting features for newspapers and magazines, Cathy can be found giving talks at universities and institutes, such as Columbia Journalism School in New York and the Pulitzer Center in Washington DC.
