swollen
with worlds
you long to birth —

With intention, publishing your body of work can be a sensory experience. Attention, wonder and connection in action. A form of healing. A spiritual practice in and of itself.
These one-hour consultations are for dreaming, planning, and executing. From designing a mood board to constructing the framework for your body of work, we explore poetry as a life practice, the intricacies and finer details of revision, self publication & distribution, as well as ways to celebrate the work.
Please note: a 1:1 consultation is a prerequisite for any further design projects. Once we have met via Zoom, I will draft and send a proposal for all self publishing / design projects. Each quote contains a timeline and investment, and is as unique as the individual and project at hand.
The secret poems, essays, fragments & photos all serve a purpose - to help you build and fortify meaningful relationships. Let’s identify those you long to connect with, the sort of cadence and candor you want that connection to embody. Whether you have a defined vision or simply want a bit of guidance on how to get started sharing your work, I’m your gal. Digital or physical, social media or printed, it’s all within my wheelhouse.
one-hour session - $105
Payments currently accepted through Venmo & PayPal (within 24 hours of registration, links will be sent for both Zoom meeting & payment)
Ashley, Poetry Forge student, A Home of Heart & Bones
“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.”
