Decide if Kate's Right for You with Our Mentor Interview
What excites you most about writing?
“I love how immersive writing is. For me, it’s always been a way to escape, but also connect. There’s nothing I enjoy more than connecting with readers through stories, and as a reader, I love feeling seen by a book!” Kate said.
What mindset does a writer need to grow?
“A writer should be resilient! Not every word we write is going to be our best, but every word leads to growth and learning. It’s a continual learning process, and we get better and better the more we do it. Being able to pick ourselves up from a creative slump is crucial to longevity in this endeavor.”
What three words best describe you as a mentor?
“Encouraging, passionate, and open-minded.”
What makes a good writing mentor?
“I think the key to a great writing mentor is meeting people where they’re at! There is absolutely no single “right way” to write, and being able to meet a mentee wherever they are in their project, story, and experience, and help them find a method that works for them, is crucial!”
What is your style of feedback?
“I provide constructive feedback that focuses on both “wins” and areas to improve. My feedback style is also collaborative. I bring a set of skills to the table, but at the end of the day, mentees know their project best. My goal is to understand their vision then help bring that to life in the best way possible based on their goals.”
What was the most recent "standout" book you read?
“I recently read The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem, and it was INCREDIBLE! It’s a romantasy book with rich world-building, an immersive, can’t-put-down plot, and a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance. It hooked me right from the beginning, which is what drew me in!”
