Kate

I have been teaching creative writing for almost twenty years. Reading about other women’s lives and experiences has expanded my world. To be able to walk in someone else’s shoes, whether it’s for a moment or an hour or a few days, is an incredible gift, providing me with insight into the human experience. It takes courage to write your truths, especially if it doesn’t seem as though anyone cares, as though anyone is listening. Let me tell you: your stories matter, I’m listening, and I’m here to help you find the heart of those truths, to get them down on the page, to craft them, and to send them out into the world. Together, we will change the world, one story at a time.

    It was a wonderful event. The readings were fabulous!! I'm so glad I got to meet you in person, Kate.

    I second Myrna's thoughts! It was a terrific reading. All three stories were incredibly compelling. My mind usually wanders at readings but I was hanging on every word. It was terrific to hear a small portion of your memoir, Kate. I can't wait to read the book. Thanks for organizing such an important event.
