Kate Duarte
Kate Duarte writes queer fantasy romance, reflecting her own identity as a queer woman, and her works have a deliciously dark undertone, full of characters who overcome trauma and find joy. She lives with her partner and her tiny (but fierce) dog, Stitch, next to a castle. When she's not writing, she's falling into a rabbit hole on the weirdest side of YouTube.
Kate is represented by Catherine Ross at Corvisiero Literary Agency.
