Kate is revising!

I am beyond excited to share Inkfish Mag's eco & nature writing edition which features my flash fiction THE LAST TWO! A big thank you to the editors for including my first published fiction.🥳 inkfishmag.com/the-last-two/ #shortstory #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

Book shopping today! I've been taking @ceciliaclyra's fab course Writing Emotions & Relationships and she's mentioned so many books for my TBR list, including YELLOWFACE by @kuangrf & BLUE SISTERS by Coco Mellors. Can't wait to start reading! #amreading

In 1901 Latvia, Stasi mixes her blood with pigment to create magical art. But when she enters a prestigious art competition and uncovers a conspiracy to eliminate magical women, she risks everything to defy the wealthy elite and protect her sapphic love. #amquerying

For those of you who are trad published, how many books did you write until you got to "the one" that was picked up? And if it was your first book, how many drafts did that take? #amwriting #writingcommunity

I was thrilled to learn today that my dear friend & writing mentor @HodesTamar has been longlisted for the 2025 Comedy Women in Print Prize! @CWIPprize So well deserved, Tamar!

Today I've been getting my pages, synopsis & query letter ready for @hmteachout! Super excited to get some input from an editor I've heard so many good things about. #amrevising #amwriting

Novelists, what are the most major changes you've had to incorporate during revision? I'm staring down adding a red herring and a new character to my WIP. 🫠 #amwriting #amrevising

I just submitted my flash fiction to @SmokeLong—join me! Free subs close tomorrow (June 30th) for short fiction up to 1,000 words: smokelong.submittable.com/Submit #amwriting #amsubmitting #shortstory

I heard we're into slutty glasses this summer...👀👓 May I introduce you to Max, my nerdy little bank teller with slutty glasses and a dominant side and the MMC in my upcoming romcom, STEAL IT WITH A KISS? #WritingCommunity (thanks @bowengotbooks for the idea)

I just submitted my short fiction to @ElectricLit! Join me—subs for short stories are open until July 6, or until their cap is reached! electricliterature.submittable.com/submit #amwriting #amsubmitting

Novelists, what would you do? When I wrap up this WIP & start querying I could either work on book 2 in the planned series (a bit of a gamble—what if no one wants book 1?) or start work on one of my other book ideas (building characters + world from scratch). #amwriting

Super excited to start beta reading a high heist fantasy written by @myleejmiller today! Who else is currently beta reading for another writer? 🧐📚 #SFF #amreading #writingcommunity

Back in Winchester yesterday—walked past the cathedral & looked up at the limestone crags imagining the haunting Aisling Cathedral in transporting gothic romantasy THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH. Alas I did not come across any talking stone gargoyles. 🤣#amreading #books #SFF #fantasy

Happy Tuesday! How are all your WIPs coming along? I'm in the endless revising spiral. 😵‍💫 #amwriting #writingcommunity

I am so excited for you, Alison!! 🎉🎉🎉

I had to share this free class from Derek Santos Olson & @MSWLMA—it's a total goldmine of all things stakes. If you want your reader to care about your protag, you should watch it! crowdcast.io/c/your-emotion… #amwriting #writingcommunity

Feeling good about this weekend. Don't know why, but I'm manifesting all the good vibes for my #amquerying novels!

Let's talk about revising your first chapter. We all know how important the opening is. Do you salvage much from your earlier drafts? Or do you find your first chapter is stronger if you write it again from scratch? #amwriting #WritingCommunity

When you're doubting you'll ever be successful as a writer, and your 5-year-old says: "If you're a writer, it means you need to have a lot of hope. Hope so that the publisher publishes your book." 😲😲😲 So here's to hope, writer friends! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Getting ready for my debut launch and just checked preorders… who are you incredible people??? I can’t believe this support. Thank you!! No pic of me (ugly crying), so here’s my book in a spot straight from the story. 🥰
