Kate relishes a well-placed comma as Tutorial Editor for Real Python.

When she’s not working with authors to perfect their tutorials, she can be found taking long walks, playing with her two cats, adding chili flakes to everything, knitting, cooking, or writing fiction. Her creative work has earned grants from Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and Toronto Arts Council and been published in numerous journals. She also edits novels and novellas for Split/Lip Press. Having grown up in Tennessee, she now calls Saskatchewan home.
