Kate Bigam

Hi, there, & thanks for coming by! I'm Kate, & I am, above all, I am a storyteller. Writing is both my profession & my hobby; it is my work & my art.

I currently work as a social media strategist & content manager for a large non-profit, with a longtime blogging hobby (find me at GreatestEscapist.com) that has expanded into a "side hustle" as a freelance writer and consultant. My essays have been published on NewYorkTimes.com, Thought Catalog, and xoJane, & beyond; my consulting work has provided me the opportunity to collaborate with small businesses & entrepreneurs to strengthen their brands and successfully engage their target audiences. I hold a B.S. in magazine journalism from Kent State University & have a background in marketing, communications, & new media.

A native of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio (home to "King James" & the famous river that caught on fire), I spent seven years on the East Coast before recently returning home to the Buckeye State. I hope to relocate to Cleveland by fall 2015 & am eager to connect with communications professionals and fellow writers in the area. All connections, leads, & networking opportunities are welcome, so say hello!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work - or want to hire me to do yours.
