Having set her sights on writing children’s books, it has always been Kate’s goal to write stories that appeal to both boys and girls. Kate has found that the cover art of a book and its font can make all the difference in a reader’s decision to either buy it or ignore. Interestingly enough, Kate believes that the Indie Bookstore has had more of an impact on her approach to presentation than it has had on her writing. She got to talk to many parents and children and she began to understand why they were drawn to certain books and why they rejected others. Kate learned the ropes of self-publishing because of her experience with the indie bookstore. Kate’s publisher cheered her on as she undertook the relatively taxing process, though her editor couldn’t directly help her pursue her goals here due to contractual issues. It is a path she has continued to follow, though the author eventually came out with a couple of novellas set in her pre-established fictional worlds and self-published them. Kate started out as a traditionally published author. Working in the establishment has given Kate amazing insight into the sales aspect of indie publishing. The author was pretty fortunate to land a job in an Indie Bookstore. The work wasn’t very financially rewarding and Kate remembers striving to stay in the game for the sake of the art, though she eventually called it quits in order to write her novels. For a very long time, Kate wrote screenplays for the stage. She went to South River High School and eventually graduated from Ithaca College. Kate Milford is a native of Annapolis, MD. Kate Milford is an award-winning storyteller that is responsible for books like ‘The Boneshaker’ and ‘Greenglass House’.
