I’ll never forget the first time I wrote “writer” as my occupation on my tax return. It felt so official, and also a little nuts. I’d grown up believing, until well into my thirties, in fact, that being a writer was impossible. My guests and I are here to tell you, it’s not.
Since early 2024, I’ve been asking working writers the same set of questions about their creative paths and processes on the Finding the Throughline podcast. (Think, an audio version of the Proust questionnaire on the back page of Vanity Fair.)
My goal is to help writers and people who aspire to be writers to feel less alone and to benefit from the shared wisdom of other people who identify as a working writer. In an era where there are fewer and fewer places that publish book reviews, I also want to platform writers and help them connect with new readers.
Every single conversation fills my cup, gives me ideas, and inspires me. Whether you’re a reader, a writer, another kind of creative, or thinking about pursuing a career in the literary arts, I have a really good feeling they’ll do the same for you.
“Listening to Kate and her guests has become a creativity ritual for me. Three times a week, I know I’ll be getting my creativity boost with the thought-provoking questions and the down to earth honest answers.”
