For this month’s theme of “Journey,” we’ll meet Kate Boyette, a creative visionary on a mission to redefine the historically cutthroat publishing industry. With the launch of her new feminist literary magazine, Revisionist, Kate is paving the way for a more equitable future for writers—one that values and fairly compensates the artists whose creativity fuels the industry’s success.

Kate Boyette started in N.Y.C. with independent film production, which led her to L.A. to work at Creative Artist Agency. Underwhelmed teaching celebrities how to drive their Priuses, she left CAA and enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu. Since then, her culinary pursuits and events took her from Texas to Park City, Utah, to eventually, Charleston, S.C. as the first editor-in-chief of the culinary publication, The Local Palate. She recently launched her boutique cookbook publishing company, Mise En Place Publishing, and earned her MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts, combining her two loves—cooking and storytelling.
