I’m sitting with Kate Veitch in her apartment in the Haight, talking with her about having a web presence as an author, and the sea change in publishing — which translates to a sea change in writing for many of us.
Kate is talking about the possibility of starting a blog. I look forward to it. She says, “If I were to blog, it would be brief musings on things like aging, relationships, being a mother, being a friend, you know, what moves me.”
We spent hours tossing the ball back and forth to get better footing on how authors can thrive in the altered landscape of publishing today. I think we’ll see a bit more from Kate in the future as she, like other writers who are braving these learning curves, enters blogging.
I want you to know about Kate’s book, “Trust.” The second novel by the hand of a superb storyteller.
Follow-up: A few days after our meeting, Kate told me she was getting excited about the possibility of writing shorter fiction and engaging the digital publishing world where her readership is waiting. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me!
