Katherine Scott Coburn

Kate Coburn (she/her or they/them) is 29 years old living on the rural Northern Neck of Virginia. She lives with her parents and works part time at her local library—the Lancaster Community Library. At the library she works largely on cataloging incoming materials, mostly print novels and physical DVDs or Blu-rays; additionally, Kate runs two bi-weekly programs sponsored by the library, a creative writing group and a Dungeons & Dragons club. She is especially interested in the archives and cataloging aspects of library science, and she is happy to have gotten the opportunity to learn about both during her MLIS studies.

 

Kate received their bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in creative writing from the University of Mary Washington (where their mother also studied). They graduated from UMW in the Summer of 2020. They have a dream of becoming a published author of fantasy, but they also write comedy and realism as well. They are currently working (on and off) on a short story series inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
