About Event

​** This is a LIVE interview with author Kate Young about the craft of writing and reality of building a writing career. Attendees will be sent a recording after the interview. **


​Join us for a conversation with author Kate Young as we chat about her expansive writing career. We'll discuss how she turned her popular food blogs into a cookbook series, as well as her debut novel, Experienced, which has been described as "a roller-coaster of a rom-com that is both the sexiest book you'll read all year and the most heartening.” 

​We’ll explore:

  • ​Writing spicy rom-coms 

  • ​How Kate develops her characters and what makes them stand out

  • ​What it takes to grow a blog readership 

  • ​How she turned her successful blog into the award-winning Little Library cookbooks

​About Kate Young
