Overview
You probably have an idea that won’t leave you alone.
You want the transformative process of writing and a tangible result you’re excited to share. You understand a book is part of something bigger: your business, your family, or your community. It’s a way to share your life story, your deep knowledge, or the unique fictional world you carry inside you.
Projects like these can require partnership. That’s where I come in!
I’m Kate. I’m a collaborative writer for hardworking creative people. I’m an athlete and artist living in Durham, North Carolina.
I want to tell your story WITH you, not FOR you. Even if you feel a little lost right now, you know your own story. I have the tools, skills, and compassion needed to bring your story into the world.

No matter where you are in the writing process, I’m ready to support you.
⭐ Struggling to get all the pieces of your story to click together? I’ll help you discover the right structure through Collaborative Outlining.
A well-designed story is immersive and reads effortlessly, and creates a world that a reader can fall into like a dream. In my Collaborative Outlining process, I’ll use literary frameworks to bring what you feel in your intuition onto the page.
Over 3-4 video calls, we'll create a new chapter-by-chapter outline. It’s your story, deepened and evolved.
💵 $3,950
⭐ Ready to get your book out there? I’m ready to be your Writing Partner.
You might come to this step of the process with an entire manuscript that isn’t quite working, or no words written at all. But no matter where you are in the process, I’m ready to be your partner in moving your book across the finish line.
Every book is different, so every collaboration is, too.
💵 Flat project fee starts $30,000
💵 Not sure how much work you need? Want ongoing flexibility in our collaborative process? I'm available to work on a monthly retainer of $2800.
⭐ Compassionate Post-AI Book Development and Revision
Up until now, you may have been working with Claude, or Gemini, or ChatGPT.
Has an AI tool helped you uncover the shape of what your book could be? Have you hit a wall with what it can do, and need a human touch to take it to the next level? I understand how much time, energy, and honesty has gone into developing your project with an AI tool. We'll use your existing materials as our starting point, and transform your project from machine to human.
