“Katey’s passion, commitment, and model of inclusion provide a safe and supportive environment for writers to grow and hone their skills. She skillfully builds writing communities that support diversity and provide exposure to an abundance of writing professionals and literary creatives. Her firm, yet gentle push, has propelled me toward strengthening my inner editor, nurturing my writing-self, and prioritizing my writing. ”
