I’m Kate Black. This is my website!

I’m a writer living in Vancouver, BC. I grew up in St. Albert, AB.

My essays have been published in The Globe and Mail, The Puritan, The Walrus, and Maisonneuve, among other places. I've won a National Magazine Award and was selected as one of Canada’s top emerging voices in non-fiction by the 2020 RBC Taylor Prize. I have a MFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia.

My non-fiction debut, Big Mall, is forthcoming with Coach House Books in February 2024.
