Kira Cochrane (born 1977)[1] is a British journalist.
She was born and raised in Essex. Her elder brother was killed aged 8 in a traffic accident in 1983, and Cochrane's father had died of a heart attack with the result that Cochrane and her younger brother were brought up by their mother as a single parent.[2] She read American Literature at Sussex and University of California, Davis.[1][3]
Formerly a journalist on The Sunday Times, she is a feature writer on The Guardian and was the newspaper's women's editor from 2006[4] to November 2010, when she was succeeded by Jane Martinson.[5] Cochrane is now a features writer on the newspaper. Cochrane wrote a column for the New Statesman magazine from around 2006 to July 2008.[6]
Kira Cochrane has published two novels, The Naked Season[7] and Escape Routes for Beginners,[8] which appeared on the long list for the 2005 Orange Prize for Fiction.[9] In 2009, Cochrane was herself on the judging panel for that year's Orange Prize for Fiction.[10] She co-edited (with Eleanor Mills) Journalistas: 100 Years of the Best Writing and Reporting by Women Journalists[11][12] (published as Cupcakes and Kalashnikovs: 100 Years of the Best Journalism by Women in the UK)[13] and has edited an anthology of women's writing which has appeared in The Guardian, Women of the Revolution: Forty Years of Feminism.[14]
