About

Katherine Sharpe is a writer living in New York. She used to have a blog called “Too Much Katherine,” which is now only available from the WayBack Machine. So this blog’s name is a joke on the name of her entirely obscure first blog—got it?

Katherine conceived, started, edited and ran 400 Words, a literary/sociological/confessional project collecting short-short nonfiction. She was a contributing editor at SMITH, the personal-media hub of the universe; here is a collection of her SMITH bloggings.

From 2005 to 2008 she managed the motley crew at ScienceBlogs, where she marinated in all things Web 2.0; here are her posts on ScienceBlogs’ house blog.

Now she works as the web editor of ReadyMade magazine, which is not only one of her favorite magazines ever but also a place where she worked as an intern during the summer of 2005, when she was a wee thing and the ReadyMade offices were in Berkeley. She blogs a lot with her fellow editors at the ReadyMade editors’ blog, and she delights in being sent DIY projects to cover there. Someone just told her it’s possible to make maple syrup at home, so now she’s obsessing about that.

She used to write sporadically about books with her friend Anna at Our Shelves, Ourselves. She is interested in literature, projects, design, art, old buildings, the humanities, social questions/ways of living, and of course, food, particularly cute dinners. She’s got a Flickr stream. For what it’s worth, she reckons she is an INFJ or INFP, but on the more extroverted side. She likes to think that like a good cup of coffee, she’s complicated.
