“Working with Cuala Creative was one of the best decisions I’ve made as an author.

Katie is wonderful to work with - highly organized, thoughtful and creative, with excellent knowledge of the publishing world.

She has taken the stress out of social media for me and made ‘building my brand’ feel doable and even enjoyable!

Last but not least, as authors our job can get lonely, and it’s so lovely to have such a lovely, warm, supportive colleague in Katie.

If you’re considering taking the plunge with Cuala Creative, do it!

Hi, I’m Katie!

In my seven years in the book industry, I have worked with many household names like Heather Morris (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), Christy Lefteri (The Beekeeper of Aleppo) and the estate of Wilbur Smith.

Being part of sales and editorial teams that built international bestsellers, I learnt a thing or two about what makes a great book.

I founded Cuala Creative to provide the passionate and personalised support that’s needed by authors and creative professionals to navigate an industry like no other.

Together, let’s make publishing a better place . . .
