I recently discovered a gem of a website (by way of Jen at “Et Tu?”, the same spot where I discover many, many other “gems”). The 10 Minute Writer is the perfect hangout for moms who write or any scribe who’s short on time. Its creator and author Kathy Grub, a busy homeschooling mom ofRead the whole post >>

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
