Contributing editor Kate MacGregor is an author and editor who grew up in the publishing industry and read manuscripts from an early age. She has spent the last several years reviewing manuscripts for literary agents and authors, as well as freelance editing, writing posts and content for social media, and publishing her first book. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Kate has a special fondness for children's books and stories, loves being part of her local aerial circus community (spending an unusual amount of time upside down), and reads everything she can squeeze in throughout the day. She is a graduate of Portland State University with an emphasis in English and Linguistics.
