Female Literary Voices, Amplified

$35.00
Charleston has been a literary epicenter since the colonies – we live and breathe it every day. In partnership with Revisionist magazine, we look forward to further celebrating this legacy of this art form in anticipation of the incredible lineup brought to downtown by the Charleston Literary Festival each November. Just a week from the Festival’s kick off, join Revisionist Founder Kate Boyette, narrators, and authors for a literary performance dubbed IN HER OWN WORDS: A Night of Women’s Stories, hosted by Charleston Literary Festival and Revisionist, a magazine of female writers, artists, and culinarians. A not-to-be-missed festive evening, supporting locale female writers, who will share excerpts from their poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction pieces.
About Kate Boyette
Kate Boyette started in N.Y.C. with independent film production, which led her to L.A. to work at Creative Artist Agency. Underwhelmed teaching celebrities how to drive their Priuses, she left CAA and enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu. Since then, her culinary pursuits and events took her from Texas to Park City, Utah, to eventually, Charleston, S.C. as the first editor-in-chief of the culinary publication, The Local Palate. She recently launched her boutique cookbook publishing company, Mise En Place Publishing, which published the female literary magazine, REVISIONIST in 2025, and earned her MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts, thus combining her two loves—cooking and storytelling. Currently, she’s seeking representation for her first novel and writing essays about motherhood, divorce, and culinary on her Substack page, “unpublished.”
