ABOUT ME
Words and books have long been the lens through which I view the world. Now, after 15 years in strategic marketing, communications and major events, I am working towards becoming a published author.
My current WIP is a work of upmarket commercial fiction about a married couple in the fertility trenches. Raw and relatable, this story was inspired by my experience with IVF and is due for completion in early 2025. I can't wait to share it with the world.
I was recently a committee member on the inaugural Festival of Fiction in Perth, alongside local author power duo Tess Woods and Sasha Wasley. Read more about this here.
I live in sunny Perth with my partner and our three young divas. When not writing or chopping fruit, I consult to SMBs who need strategic marketing guidance, and take on the occasional freelance writing project.
Professional background
-
With 15 years of marketing experience, I am currently working as a freelance marketing consultant, servicing clients on both the east and west coasts. My areas of specialty are strategy, brand development, campaigns and mentoring.
-
My focus since early 2024 has been on developing a work of upmarket commercial fiction, with a view to seek representation and ultimately a publishing contract.
-
Having worked as both a freelance and salaried copywriter throughout my career, I have extensive experience writing for a broad range of industries and clientele.
-
One of the greatest joys of my career has been building high performing marketing teams from scratch, when I worked in the startup tech space. Now I enjoy helping emerging marketers to develop the strategic, big picture thinking they need to move into senior roles.
“Kate is the consummate communicator. Not just because of her experience as a wordsmith, but in the very way she presents and communicates. Lucid, considered, polished.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Kate's work in action for the past four years. Her talent as a writer has been honed over an extensive career. Furthermore, Kate understands business strategy and has written for numerous industries and verticals with aplomb.
The best writers, in my experience, are resilient, worldly and love what they do. Kate's work embodies all of these things.”
