Kate Harding is the founder of Shapely Prose, the most popular size acceptance blog on the web, and a regular contributor to Salon.com’s Broadsheet. As an expert on body image, she’s been interviewed by CNN, The New York Times, Reuters, and CBC Radio, among others.
In 2009, Perigee books published her first book, Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce With Your Body (co-written with fellow blogger Marianne Kirby), which iVillage’s Never Say Diet site calls “the ultimate fat girl’s bible, with lessons of positive body image, healthy living, and most importantly loving yourself and being healthy in your current body and at your current weight.”
Kate lives in Chicago with her husband and two very old dogs.
