Meet Kate
Welcome! I’m Kate–a writer of fantasy, magical realism, science fiction, and horror. My poetry and fiction has appeared in Podcastle, Fireside Fiction, Arsenika, and Illumen, among other places. My non-fiction essays have appeared at Superstition Review and The Deadlands. I also reviewed sci-fi & fantasy at FantasyLiterature.com where I once curated a column, “The Expanded Universe.”
I teach English Literature as an online instructor at the University of Mississippi; and teach first-year writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My Ph.D. from Florida State University is in early British literature, with a special emphasis on drama and the history of the book. My other research interests include the staging of women’s bodies; fairy tales and folklore; and science-fiction, fantasy, magical realism, and horror.
