Katie Gillett

1 post
Katie Gillett (pronounced like the razor) is a multimedia storyteller with roots in Orlando and pieces of her heart across the globe. In 2010 she quit her theme park photographer job to go on a cross-country road trip from Florida to California—via Canada—with: 6 of her best friends, an unregistered yellow Mustang, a Toyota Corolla named Tinkerbell, 2 walkie talkies, and the motto “No pants, no plans, no priorities”. The plan was to “find herself”…or something. She now finds herself living at home again. She enjoys rewriting pop lyrics to make them relevant to social justice issues and making socio-environmental documentary films. You can check out her work at: www.groundwaterup.com and reach her at: gillett.katie[at]gmail.com.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
