Hello and thank you for being here.
I’m Katie — a neurodivergent writer, poet, and photographer creating work rooted in the North and shaped by wilderness, strangeness, and lived experience.
Since 2006, I’ve published several books, most recently Vetur, a poetry collection inspired by winter in Iceland
and conceived during an artist residency at Gröndal’s House in Reykjavík.
My writing has appeared in magazines including Clarion and Mslexia, and can be found across the internet at places such as Routes North, CVLT Nation, and Beautiful Bizarre.
I've been blogging since the days of LiveJournal and ran the blog Wyrd Words & Effigies, where I celebrated the strange and shadowy for over a decade. Nowadays, I write at A Wyrd of Her Own, sharing insights into my bewildering existence as a neurodivergent woman. I also blog at Northern Fever, where I unashamedly revel
in my life-long preoccupation with the North.
As a lyricist, I’ve written three albums for my Witch Folk band Cave Mouth and contributed lyrics for Bogwitch,
Beyond Man and Feigd. I've also produced the spoken-word album Arctic Fever in collaboration with Crown of Asteria.
Photography has been a lifeline for me. Self-portraiture quite literally saved my life in 2020, though these days I focus primarily on capturing others. My work has appeared in Hyldyr’s The Comparative Hávamál and The Comparative Völuspá, and in collaborations with artists including Dyfliza, Sólstafir, Gossip Collar, Mara, Svartþoka, and Necroshorns.
Earlier in my career, I worked as an editor and publisher. In 2009, while completing my BA in Creative Writing,
I founded Slice of the Moon Books and Beautiful Scruffiness Literary Magazine. I later edited the anthologies The Mountains You Cannot See, Earth We Are Listening, and Maiden, Mother, Crone, and worked with Nordland Publishing on Wyrd Words & Effigies Magazine and Morbid Curse Magazine.

Footnotes (Because everyone loves footnotes.)
I was diagnosed as neurodivergent at the age of 38.
“Witch Folk” is a term a reviewer once used for our music, and it stuck.
Photography saved me during a lengthy depressive episode, which turned out to be neurodivergent burnout.
The Web of Wyrd logo was crafted (in ink) by my friend Nafre.
