For almost 20 years, Kate E. Stephenson has honed her craft, using words and narrative to help clients birth new dreams and open new possibilities. Established in 2006, Kate has grown the business to offer three interconnected branches of service.

Isn’t it time to finally bring them to life?

What My Clients Have to Say
Kate is FANTASTIC.
Kate is FANTASTIC. Listen, by no means am I the next Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway (and I’m ok with that since we should be able to recognize our abilities but always strive to reach our full potential) but we all have a voice. And Kate will help you propel your voice to the next level in a way any audience can enjoy. Her professionalism, experience, expertise is of course a given bonus. But who she is as not only an editor/proofreader/coach but who she is a human being is what differentiates her from others. She will take the time to find out what you really want to say, and advise you on how to say it and even understand WHY you should say it. She worked wonders with me and my work, and I am proud of the end result. Thank you Kate.

Kate turns resume writing into an art form. Through a single conversation of incisive questions and empathic listening, Kate was able to reshape my resume into the story of my passions and professions. Her attention to detail is as discerning as any storyteller. I am so grateful for my time with Kate. KEMPS Consulting is a gift.

More Reviews on Google...in powerful conversation with Kate
I've had the privilege of working with Kate at multiple points, most recently in her capacity as a coach. Being in powerful conversation with Kate brought about a lot of clarity and confidence for me. She is an extremely present, positive, and dedicated professional, and her commitment to her clients and their growth is amazing. I would definitely recommend working with Kate if you can.

More Reviews on LinkedInI plan to use Kate again.
I hired Kate to write executive bios for a handful of people in my company, and I could not be happier that I did. Kate has the rare ability to make ordinary and mundane details sound extraordinary as she captivates readers from beginning to end. She was able to data mine all of the information she needed to craft the perfect bios from some short writing samples and quick phone interviews. I plan to use Kate again.
