Kate Orlando is obsessed with stories. Fascinated by the chaos where psychology and sociology collide, she can’t go a day without a new world sparking to life in her mind. Every world begs a question: What kind of person would this place create? For Kate, writing is exploration—chipping away her own lens and bias until she uncovers a character’s true core. From there, the magic begins. She no longer writes the story; she shares theirs.
A lifelong lover of all things speculative, Kate uses other worlds to hold a mirror to the injustices of our own. She’s passionate about creating safe spaces for queer readers—telling stories that celebrate queer people without making their identities the sole focus. After a youth spent skipping the tragic endings of sapphic films, she promises her readers one thing: if it isn’t happy, it isn’t the end.
Kate is a debut author currently querying her adult modern sapphic fantasy. She lives a quiet life, with her wonderful wife, where the two can always be found talking, wondering, and dreaming together.
