About Me
Hi! I'm Kate
I’m a former journalist who survived more than 20 years in the news biz. I got my start writing features about local businesses at a tiny community magazine in Boston’s South End back when “Hit Me Baby One More Time” was number one on the radio. (Yeah, I’m old.)
After that, I worked at the Boston Herald for a couple years, then spent the bulk of my career as a writer and associate producer at Fox News Channel, where I covered everything from politics to pop culture.
In between, I wrote travel articles for Matador Network, TV recaps for TVGasm.com and co-founded a burlesque production company.
Now I write copy for businesses like yours. If you want to connect with your customers, demonstrate your cred, and grow your audience, give me a shout.

Dang, I’m sweaty.
Why you should work with me
Results-Driven
You need a big-picture thinker who can help you reach your goals. Whether you want to sell more tours, get more subscribers, or become the go-to in your corner of the internet, I will help you get those big wins.
Obsessed with Words
It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m obsessed with words. Life is nuanced, and there’s nothing more satisfying than finding the perfect turn-of-phrase to express that nuance.
Subject Matter Expertise
I’ve been writing travel content since 2015 and I’m an avid traveler. What I don’t know first-hand, I will use my 20 years’ experience as a journalist to find out.
Easy to Work with
Maybe it’s because I’m a Virgo, but I’m organized, reliable, and responsive. Deadlines don’t scare me. In fact, I thrive on them. And I will leave the drama to the Real Housewives.
Kate is smart, reliable, quick, pays attention to detail (very important when your work is being broadcast to millions) … but most of all she is a great and creative writer. Plus, she’s fun to work with.
My Approach
Client-focused, Empathetic
The client (you!) always comes first. It’s not about my ego as a writer. You always get the final say.
Creative and Innovative
I can help you find new angles and strategies to get your message out there, even if you think it’s been done to death. I promise, we can find a new way to say it.
Optimized for Design
I have a certificate in graphic design so I’m always thinking about how your copy ties in to your visual elements. And if you aren’t sure about those visual elements, I can help you figure them out.
Sense of Humor
I take my work very seriously. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for some gallows humor now and then.
Services
SEO Content Writing
I write SEO-focused articles and blog posts that will build your audience and your credibility. Let your customers come to you.
Web Copy
I’ll take your website from meh to magnificent, with copy that turns “just looking” into “take my money!”
Brand Strategy
If you’re still figuring out who you are as a company and how to best tell your story, I can help. We’ll take a deep dive and figure out how to connect with your ideal customer.
