ABOUT KATELYN

Welcome!

I'm a Midwest native living in New York City, an oldest child, an INFJ / Enneagram 3w4, and editorial director for Brazos Press. But the most important thing you should know about me is that I love words and believe they can change the world. 

I first learned this as an undergrad at Calvin College, where I edited the student newspaper and genuinely looked forward to writing papers. After studying theology at Oxford University, I landed my first job at Christianity Today magazine in the suburbs of Chicago. I would go on to serve as the magazine's youngest and first female managing editor.

I have written for The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The New York Times on light topics such as politics, gender, and theology, and have commented on faith and culture for CNN, ABC, NPR, Associated Press, Religion News Service, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

When I'm not doing all the things with the words, I enjoy exploring NYC, karaoke (post-pandemic, of course), FaceTimeing with my nephew, international travel, and starting the day with the NYT Spelling Bee. I’d love to hear from you!
