Autorenporträt

Kathryn Baird learnt to write Pitman Shorthand in the 1970s and taught it in the 1980s after qualifying to teach in Further Education. She has worked as a Medical Secretary, a Lecturer in FE, and a school teacher and examiner. She became fascinated by the mysterious shorthand messages used on so many postcards and has collected and transcribed over 300 postcards with Pitman messages. Her transcription of a 1915 diary was covered by the BBC and several newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph, in 2019. She lives in Peterborough.
