​​Louise Heren is a television documentary producer/director, author and part-time academic. 
 
Her latest book British Nannies and the Great War:  how Norland’s Regiment of Nannies coped with Conflict and Childcare in the Great War will be published by Pen and Sword in February 2016.  She has also co-authored Nanny in a Book:  the common-sense guide to childcare (Vermilion 2011).

​
As a social historian with a first degree in Scottish History, Louise has recently returned to the University of St. Andrews where her academic research explores male violence in Scotland in the interwar period assessing the effect – perceived and real – of men’s Great War exposure to extreme violence and what impact this had on their readjustment to civillian life after demobilisation in 1918.
 
She is currently deep in domestic and indecent assault records looking at violence by men against women in the home and on the streets of Scotland. 
 
Louise lives in Wiltshire with her family juggling writing, research and documentaries with the demands of a sporty 10 year old.
