Katie Heaney (born 1986) is an author and former BuzzFeed editor and senior writer for The Cut.[1] Her books include Never Have I Ever, Dear Emma, Would You Rather?, Girl Crushed, and The Year I Stopped Trying.

Career

Heaney's first book, written while she was working as an editor at BuzzFeed, was Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date, published in 2014. The memoir chronicles her life up til age 25 and recounts how she had not, before that point, had a boyfriend.[2] [3] In 2016, Heaney's modernization of Jane Austen's Emma was published.[4] [5] In 2018, Heaney published a second memoir, Would You Rather?: A Memoir of Growing Up and Coming Out. Would You Rather? deals with Heaney's path to coming out and realizing her sexuality.[6] Her first YA novel, Girl Crushed, was published in 2020.[7] Her second YA novel, The Year I Stopped Trying, was published in 2021.[8] In 2021, Heaney published a controversial article in the Cut titled, "The Memory War."[9] Shortly after, fellow journalist Carrie Poppy released a series of letters to the editor on Medium, including one from memory expert Elizabeth Loftus, demonstrating a large number of factual and contextual errors committed by Heaney in her recount of statements made by her interviewees and her summary of memory research.[10]

Personal life

Heaney was born and raised in St. Paul and Shoreview, Minnesota.[11] She came out as gay at age 28 in 2015.[12] From 2019 to 2023, Heaney was married to Lydia Jackson.[13] [1] [14] [15] She now lives in Los Angeles.
