Praise for Kathryn's Novels

About Kathryn
Kathryn’s path to novel writing was anything but straight. She was circling: writing-intensive schooling, a 19-year career as a dance critic, and her desktop publishing business all kept written communication front and center. It was tragedy that pushed her into making sense of the world through story—and now she can’t get enough of it.
Your Novel Year
This small-group mentorship for novelists, delivered via live video conference, is yet one more manifestation of Kathryn's philosophy: you don't have to go it alone. Whether you are writing your first novel or wrestling down your third, if you are early in its journey and seeking support, Your Novel Year is the program for you!
Detailed Workshops | Expert Feedback | Group Discussions | And More!
“Your Novel Year made the difference between me writing a story and being a writer. Kathryn’s personable style and deep knowledge of writing craft kept me engaged and interested and inspired.”
—Wendy Rossi, 2019 participant, historical women's fiction
