Hi, I’m Kate.
I'm a writer, storyteller, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, socially awkward nerd as well as speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of two nonfiction books, and I am currently working on my first novel. I am also in the process of applying to low-residency MFA programs.
I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – idealism, cynicism, anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, acting, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters. I believe hope, love, and truth will prevail and will one day crush fear, hate, and lies. (I have no other choice but to make myself believe this.)
I strive every single, imperfect day to build bridges even when others build walls, to see those who feel invisible, to give voice to the voiceless, and to work toward a world that chooses love and justice - for every single human being (and for the Earth as well).
