About Carrie McGovern
Hi, I’m Carrie McGovern, a contemporary romance author from Sunderland - originally Yorkshire, but I think being here for 30 years qualifies me as an honorary Mackem. I’ve published three novels and a novella in my debut Hello Series, where awkward meet-cutes and emotional chaos reign supreme. I’m currently working on a second series because, apparently, I thrive enemies to lover’s banter.
I’ve always loved writing, even if I took a detour after graduating from the University of Sunderland. Life happened, anxiety happened, and writing got shelved for a while. But more recently, books became my escape from the noise in my head, and eventually, I started creating the kind of stories I wanted to read. Stories filled with love, friendship, and characters who deserve both.
Messy, Heartfelt Romance
I write strong women, supportive men, and the kind of messy, heartfelt romance that makes you laugh, cry, and maybe yell at the page a little. My first book was inspired by women like me, because often invisible, we deserve to be the main character too.
I love supporting other creatives and I’m passionate about my city and the North East (even setting books and characters here), I live with a cat who judges everything I do, and have a house full of boys, I love sending dirty memes to friends and love and hate socialising in equal measures.
My Hello Series (Hello Happiness, Hello Mr Beckett, Hello Handsome and The Other Mr Beckett) are available in Paperback, Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, with signed paperbacks available from my website www.CarrieMcGovern.com

Welcome to the fourth 'Show & Tell' edition of ArtyParti - a live podcast recording hosted at Port Independent in Sunderland. Artists & creatives of various disciplines were invited to "step up to the microphone" to share recent projects, the process behind their work, and the lessons they've learned along the way.
Contemporary Romance Author Carrie McGovern has four self-published books under her belt in her ‘Hello’ series, which promise “messy, heart-felt romance”, but Carrie’s latest project is written from dual perspectives.
