THANKS FOR WATCHING comes out May 12, 2026, eeee! 📚 Hi, hey, hello! I'm Kate, a soon-to-be hybrid author! For the past few years, I've been making YouTube videos for the authortube community, such as: - daily NaNoWriMo vlogs, - an "I Tried Writing Like..." video series where I test out the routines of popular authors, - monthly writing experiments, ranging from 24-Hour Write-A-Thons to trying to write a screenplay for the first time, - livestreams with writing sprints, - honest chats like being scared to say I'm a writer, querying failures, and sharing when my story gets the best of me, - & a lot more! Sometimes I also post travel vlogs & booktube content (like my personal favorite series, Cooking With Classics, where I analyze classic novels and discuss how writing and books have changed over time!).
