about make known
make known exists because…
Your voice is worthy of being heard and your writing is worthy of being published. If you’re yearning for guidance, structure, and accountability to embark on your writing or creative journey, we would love to support you. With decades of experience in the publishing industry, we’re convinced we can show you that becoming an author isn’t just for a select, privileged few—it’s a craft like any other, that requires commitment, practice, and curiosity.
You deserve to dream, create, and explore with trust and tenderness—and we understand how overwhelming, uncertain, and lonely the creative process can feel. If you’re longing to find alignment with your core values and activate a creative spark, we would love to support you. Our process fosters genuine connection to the self and all of its parts—nurturing those that embolden and fortify, and understanding those that restrict and inhibit our wildest dreams.
We’re committed to empowering you to navigate and question the systems that have been designed to stifle and dismiss you. Our consultancy and publishing program focus on transformation over transaction, acknowledging all aspects of lived identity while addressing the social and cultural structures that shape our experiences. We’ll help you navigate existing structures and radical possibilities so that you can choose a path that’s right for you. From crafting book proposals, to developing sustainable plans for writing and revisions, to publishing your project with ease and independence, to building creative and realistic marketing plans, we’ll work with you to make known your most important work.
about katel
I created Make Known because I believe writers, artists, and visionaries deserve a container to work and grow from a place of deep self-trust—and a channel through which to make known their boldest work. As a coach, established author, and experienced publisher, I help creatives bring about professional and personal transformation through editorial grounding and publishing sovereignty. As a person in the world, I move with curiosity, humility, and hope.
