Kate in The Gazette: Indie Author Day, 10/13
Posted on October 12, 2018
Check it out, I’m in The Gazette! Again, I mean, because I worked for The G for years, but I’m thrilled they were able to preview my upcoming visit to Colorado Springs this weekend. An excerpt: Self-publishing was not the path (Jonuska) imagined as a young writer, but it turned out to make the most sense, […]
Kate on stage at Truth Be Told
Posted on July 16, 2018
Writing and storytelling are not necessarily the same skill. As a long-time writer who fell in love with The Moth and other storytelling podcasts and events, I thought the transition between the two would be easy. Then I went to my first in-person story event about 3-4 years ago, got up on stage for the […]
Kate writes about Narrative Generosity on the Town Crier
Posted on May 31, 2018
I was asked to take part in a project about “narrative generosity” over at The Town Crier, the online edition of The Puritan literary magazine. Honestly, I was thrilled because the topic gave me the opportunity to discuss a subject that’s been rolling around in my head for quite some time: immersion as empathy. Here’s […]

Posted on January 17, 2018
Wow. I’m bowled over by the review of Transference over at Colorado Book Review, self described as “a coalition of editors, librarians, industry professionals, and published authors banded together to review works of fiction and non-fiction.” Their anonymous reader gave Transference 4 out of 5 stars and said: Kate Jonuska has a keen, witty, unique voice that […]

And check out Beyond the Trope’s archive of podcasts, which includes interviews with much cooler, much more famous writers like Diana Gabaldon and Gail Carriger, or support their Patreon if you can.

Kate speaks at Ignite Boulder 34!
Posted on January 2, 2018
Unrelated to fiction, but definitely on the list of issues about which I’m most passionate, I spoke at the Ignite Boulder 34 event in December 2017 about medication shaming. As someone who does rely on prescription medications to live my best life, I wanted to confront the idea that taking prescriptions is a sign of […]
Transference featured in the Denver Post
Posted on October 30, 2017
My novel Transference was chosen as a Staff Pick over at the Denver Post and was featured with the headline: Kate Jonuska’s “Transference” has delightfully despicable characters who earn their laughs I love it! And she very much loved the book, saying it might be “a good place to start a conversation about whether it matters if […]
Transference reviewed in the Daily Camera
Posted on October 6, 2017
Clay Bonnyman Evans, book reviewer and author of the upcoming Bones of My Grandfather: Reclaiming a Lost Hero of WWII, reviewed Transference for the Daily Camera, based in Boulder, CO. (My local paper!) Noting my “flair for punchy, often cynical, humor,” he also writes: For all the conventional wisdom about ‘likable’ characters, unlikable characters can work […]
