EDITOR
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Katie served as the Editor-in-Chief of Animal Riot Press, a publishing company by writers for writers. During that time, she edited novels like Anthropica by David Hollander—a book Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask and Home Land, said was "a majestic, mysterious artifact... a deeply felt and sometimes madcap Moebius strip of a book. Space-time, Earth-life, and human (and inhuman) desire and meaning have a worthy bard in David Hollander, and existence gets its dark, beautiful due in this rapturous work."
