I’m Kim Place-Gateau. I’m a writer and content creator in Southwestern Vermont and Washington, DC.
My writing has been featured at Kimbaland, The Broad Side, Food52, TEDxAFC, Bitch Magazine, Front Porch Fredericksburg, Powering Agriculture, Obscure Ingredients, Orbit’s Online Eatery, the Mitford Society series, several charity and non-profit websites and a couple of smaller press magazines. In 2011 I wrote The Writer, The Cook & The Eater, a series of essays about the messy life of a busy restaurant and night club owner at the turn of the last century. More recently I’ve been working on a novel, Cranleigh, that combines my obsession with damaged families, complex characters, mid-20th century Southern California, the concept of “home” and Gen X music and culture.
