We also dive into the strong, collaborative relationships Katherine builds with the writers she supports. Katherine's experience in cultural anthropology, along with her time in the Peace Corps, has shaped her approach to editing. She discusses how anthropology has taught her the art of storytelling and the importance of active listening—both essential skills in her work with authors. Tune in to discover how anthropology and academic editing go hand in hand, and what it takes to help scholars bring their ideas to life.
