Kate

Head in the clouds, nose in a book… such is the life of a bookworm, word smith and lover of all things literary.

Welcome to the Web site of Kate Jonuska, a freelance writer and photographer based in Colorado Springs, CO.

I’ve been a full-time writer since 2004, working first as a ghost writer of book-length manuscripts and then in-house at The Gazette, the daily newspaper of Colorado Springs.

I now work freelance for The Gazette arts and entertainment section, Gazette special sections, Colorado Springs Style magazine, Pikes Peak Parent magazine and other local publications, writing primarily features in the lifestyle, real estate, family and food genres.

In addition, I’m a published photographer and am highly proficient with video editing software, the Adobe suite, social networking and basic Web site creation.

In most spare moments, I’m an avid reader and love to exchange book reviews and recommendations with other passionate bookies. Browse the reviews by the categories listed on the right.

Every other moment is devoted to cooking and eating, and I’d love for you to follow my side project in food writing at Local Dish, a site devoted to connected the community to local food sources and educating the public on how to cook beautiful produce.
