About Cathy
I publish weekly personal essays and memoir-in-progress on Substack.
Alongside this work, I’m developing longer-form fiction set in the world of Hollywood publicity—a project that began during evening novel-writing classes at UCLA Extension—and I’m beginning to shape my Substack writing into a cohesive memoir.
