Hi, I’m Kat!


Out of Practice is my monthly(ish) newsletter where I share the books I’ve been reading, how my writing practice is going, news about my debut novel, and the occasional personal update.

You may enjoy subscribing if you are:

  • a reader of contemporary fiction, classics, and lit fic

  • a writer, particularly one who aspires to traditionally publish long-form fiction

  • a writer with a day job (especially a non-writing day job, hello friend)

  • a writer who is a parent or caregiver

  • a process nerd

  • someone who knows me irl and wants to follow my writing shenanigans

I write fiction about complex relationships—romantic, platonic, and familial. My debut novel WASP’S NEST, a contemporary queer homage to the 1940 film The Philadelphia Story, is forthcoming from Celadon Books/Macmillan in 2026. I live with my daughter in Baltimore, where I’m currently working on my next novel.
