Kate Boyette shares her personal journey of navigating a life crisis through writing, finding her way back to “home,” and how that led to the creation of Revisionist, a literary magazine amplifying female voices while challenging the publishing industry to value and fairly compensate artists for their work.

About the speaker

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.
