Give me your succinct, salty tongue

you long to birth —

The process of birthing your body of work should be accessible, meaningful & joyous. My job is to make it so.
My one-hour book design consultations are for dreaming and planning. Together, we create a mood board for your body of work while discussing the finer details of revision, self publication & distribution. You will walk away with a better sense of what your work will look and feel like in your hands, along with actionable steps for self publishing.
After this initial one-hour meeting, our work together can continue through book design and formatting, as well as hands on support through the process of self-publication.
Please note: a 1:1 consultation is a prerequisite for all design projects. Once we have met via Zoom, I will draft and send a personalized proposal for our work together. Each proposal contains a timeline and investment quote. Book design projects generally begin at $1200, with the cost of the initial consultation deducted from the total.
one-hour session - $105
Payments currently accepted through Venmo & PayPal (within 24 hours of registration, links will be sent for both Zoom meeting & payment)

“Kat's talk was just what I needed to hear--be gentle with one's self and process. And, to hear how one transforms one's notebooks and post-its and photos into a project was so inspiring . . . hearing Kat narrate her process and project planted some seeds of confidence in me.”
Kim Flyr, poet
“Designing with Kat… was soulful and honestly fun. I had zero intention of publishing this when I began, and that makes me even more pleased that I followed this project along to the finish. She was a joy to work with, and really helped me to finish this project. It means even more to me that it was such a collaborative process.”
