Katherine began writing while working on commercial fishing vessels. She serves as the 2025-2027 Phippsburg, Maine Island Institute Fellow and continues to write about fish.

She is at work on her debut novel, examining the ecological collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery, American conspiracy and fable. Its research has been supported by fellowships from Fulbright Canada and the Folger Shakespeare Library.

Her writing is published or forthcoming in Conjunctions, The Missouri Review, Raritan, Post Road and other spots. She holds an MFA in Fiction from the University of Virginia.

She is a worried, somewhat hermetic fish nerd.
