We were a very book-centric family, and did family reading and told stories around the dinner table every night from a very early age, and I couldn't imagine making my life about anything else. I started getting serious about publication when I was a teenager, submitting short stories and writing my first novel in the back of class instead of paying attention (not recommended). I didn't start having much success, though, until I was in my 20s, which I credit in part to starting to read more widely and critically, and experiment with new forms and genres. The most valuable thing I did was keep pushing myself and to always be working on a new thing, so I didn't get stuck on any one failure.

There's so much more to say, of course, but I hope that helps!(less)

For Daphne, I think her story is done--she exists in a particular context and conflict, and her story (or my part in it) is concluded. I generally don't like to pick characters back up once I've gotten them where I think they ought to be. But I would love to write a character who is like Daphne as the primary perspective in a novel--someone with a very strong and unusual point of view on the world, and a unique way of going about her goals, shall we say.(less)

Quotes by Kate Alice Marshall  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sometimes it seemed like the only thing I’d ever been good at was surviving being broken. I didn’t know how to be whole. So any time I felt like I was healing, I found a way to break myself again.”
Kate Alice Marshall, What Lies in the Woods

“To survive you need to learn to hold contradictory things in your head at the same time. I am going to die; I am going to live. There is nothing to fear; be wary of everything.”
Kate Alice Marshall, I Am Still Alive

“What do you wear when you go to meet a ghost?”
Kate Alice Marshall, Rules for Vanishing
