Background

About Kate Chynoweth

Kate Chynoweth is a freelance writer and editor with years of experience creating content for brands, publishers, packagers, and companies. She specializes in writing about lifestyle, health, wellness, and the sweet spot where tech intersects with these topics. A creative thinker when it comes to communication and development, she's effective at working with both individuals and larger teams. She creates and writes sponsored content and blog posts for companies such as Pace Communications and MyFitnessPal, and has a proven track record of delivering complex editorial projects with multiple stakeholders to deadline. Kate is also the author of half a dozen books, including the best-selling book The Bridesmaid Guide, an entire book about lemons (it’s true) to a travel book series called Best Places to Kiss. She has a master’s in creative writing from UC Davis, and has also appeared as a featured speaker and panelist at writers’ conferences and publishing events around the west coast. Kate's background as a book and story editor has given her deep and varied experience in acquiring and developing fiction, memoir, and pop culture books. In her developmental editing work, she is quick-witted at solving authors' conundrums, and loves diving into manuscripts to bring characters to life, hone structure and plotline, and pinpoint the places where more suspense, more sex, or more sass will bring out the best in a story. Her areas of specialty include contemporary women's fiction and memoir, young adult fiction, and smart mystery. She grew up in rural New Hampshire and currently lives in Berkeley, California, with her family.
