Stories don’t mirror life, they shape it.
My expertise lies in memoirs and creative nonfiction.
Why? Because I'm passionate about people's paths, achievements, and challenges. I am primarily interested in women's, LGBTQ+ & immigrant narratives.
As an editor, I have worked with female writers from all cultures and walks of life. With my ghostwriting business, I have written memoirs of spiritual leaders, nonfictional books on yoga and esotericism, and auto-theoretical manuscripts that weave academic research with biographical elements.
I trust that everyone is a writer, but I am here to amplify your voice and alchemize your story. My work always focuses on empowerment, and that is what makes me a holistic writing coach!
Besides being a wordsmith, my superpower is my fluency in 5 languages (French, German, Luxembourgish, Russian, and Ukrainian). I am available for translation queries too. One of my favorite recent projects was translating Ukrainian LGBTQ+ poets and making a chapbook of their poems. I am the author of several poetry books and am currently in the process of publishing my anti-memoir.
I spent the last 8 years in the academy, specializing in Memoir, Trauma Theory, Cultural Studies, World Literature, and Critical Theory. I graduated with 2 master's degrees (Summa Cum Laude) in 2018 and 2021. One of my degrees is in Creative Writing & Literature, and my second degree is in Comparative Cultural Analysis. I have done research at universities in England, the Netherlands, the United States, and Cyprus. I am always eager to work on innovative manuscripts and help you shape yours!
Writing is a spiritual matter to me.

Mandelynn M.
I hired Kate to help edit my second book. Her recommendations and knowledge were valuable assets during this arduous process of getting my manuscript ready for an agent. She helped keep me on task and was readily available as I questions. Her feedback was priceless. She also helped me keep the book structured in a way that flowed nicely. I highly recommend her services. Her bubbly personality and sweet demeanor is a bonus.

I couldn't be happier to be collaborating with Kate. She is confident and capable and has very much made me feel at ease to be supported by her. Kate offers great insight and direction, especially for wrangling my complex topic.

I hired Kate to edit my first novel! She’s a fantastic editor and really pushes for quality in writing. A lot of her feedback made me see my blindspots and connect dots I didn’t realize were there. Can’t wait to hire her again for the next draft!
