About Kitty S.

Writing: I am the editor of "Ask: Building Consent Culture" as well as the author of "Ask Yourself: The Consent Culture Workbook" and "Say More: Consent Conversations for Teens", which received an excellent review from Kirkus Reviews. I am currently working on "Love Rebels: Radical Relationships for Radical Activists", also with Thornapple Press. I have been published in multiple anthologies including "Surviving the Future: Abolitionist Queer Strategies" from PM Press and "Erase the Patriarchy: An Anthology of Erasure Poetry" from University of Hell Press. I have also been a freelance writer with bylines at Teen Vogue, Bitch, Vice, Buzzfeed, the Guardian, the Walrus, Wear Your Voice, Mic, the Frisky, Ravishly, Huffington Post and many more.Marketing: I have served as a freelance marketing consultant, using my passion for words to help me weave storytelling magic into my strategies. I have a particular savvy in reaching out to marginalized communities, which also lends itself to foreseeing and avoiding PR challenges. I am often the person maintaining the company voice/vision via social media, press releases, and marketing strategies. I enjoy keeping up with the latest strategies to streamline and improve that process, with a particular interest in b2c. Working with startups to forge a brand identity that creates a personal connection with their client base is a specialty of mine, though I've also worked with major TV broadcasters in both the US (ABC, NBC) and Canada (Global). As a consultant, I have provided social media skill training to clients in multiple industries and communities, including people with temporary disabilities.Specialties: * Published author and international speaker* Social Media Marketing* Brand Management* Strategist With Awareness of Social Issues* Storytelling* Outreach/Engagement* Consulting * Communications* Public Speaking

    San Francisco Bay Area
    I've been writing opeds and reported pieces for many years, starting with a personal blog that launched my career as a columnist and, most recently, culminating in my third book, "Say More: Consent Conversations for Teens", published by Thornapple Press in 2024. I have bylines ranging from Teen Vogue, VICE, Rolling Stone, Bitch, the Walrus, the Guardian, and more, which has given me a chance to learn different style guides and brand voices. I'm most attracted to writing about sex, relationships, current events, activism, mental health, and alternative lifestyles, but I'm comfortable writing reported pieces about science as well thanks in part to past work with CALIFORNIA Magazine, UC Berkeley's alumni magazine.
