Meet Kate Toon

Kate is an award-winning writer, business coach, speaker, podcaster and hula hooper. She’s previously written a book of poetry, a popular kids book and three business books (her latest Six Figures While you Sleep published by Major Street Publishing). Her love of literature started at school, and continued through to her English Literature degree (there isn’t a classic she hasn’t read).

After working in advertising as a copywriter for many years (both big agencies and a freelancer) she now teaches others her skills via online courses and memberships.

Kate has loved the bookshop in Umina since she moved here many moons ago, and hopes her creative flair, love of community and marketing skills can help continue the lovely atmosphere of the store.

She’s an avid crime reader, a poetry glutton, loves a bit of modern fiction and of course the old classics and a bit of Tolkien Fantasy. A big kid at heart, you might also find her in the kid’s section, lapping up toddler books and teen fiction.
