Hi, I’m Kathleen.

I’m a senior editor at Kids Can Press, an occasional bookseller at A Novel Spot, and sometimes a writer. As an editor, I’m interested in books that show me the world in a new way, whether that’s a unique picture book or non-fiction that takes a surprising (and funny!) angle on a familiar topic. I’ve edited books about dinosaurs, snot, sleep, and Gertrude Stein — as long as I get to learn something new, I’m happy. In 2024, I was a Publishers Weekly Star Watch honouree.

I live in Toronto with my cat and several dozen neatly organized unread books. My non-book interests include long walks, baking, trivia, museums, and movies.
