Judith Arnopp is a highly regarded author, known for her historical fiction, history, and biography novels. She is best known for her "Beaufort Chronicles" series and has a particular interest in writing about the perspectives of historical women. Arnopp has a BA in English/Creative writing and an MA in Medieval Studies, which has greatly contributed to her knowledge and understanding of the historical periods she writes about. She is currently working on a novel written from the male perspective, that of Henry VIII himself.
Arnopp's novels are set during the War of the Roses and the Tudor era, with a focus on women such as Margaret Beaufort, Elizabeth of York, Anne Boleyn, and Mary Tudor. Her writing career began with a focus on the Anglo Saxon period, but she has since found great success in her switch to the Tudor era. She now has twelve books in her catalogue, with a thirteenth due for publication in 2021. All of her books are available on Kindle and in paperback, and some are also available on Audible.
In addition to her fiction writing, Arnopp also writes non-fiction and has had her work featured in several anthologies and magazines. She is a founder member of a re-enactment group called The Fyne Companye of Cambria and enjoys making historical garments both for the group and others. She is not professionally trained, but has learned through trial and error how to make authentic looking clothing. Arnopp is also active on social media, with a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Her non-fiction book, "How to Dress Like a Tudor," is set to be published by Pen and Sword in 2023.
