Kate Inglis is an award-winning author who writes books about pirates and giants and mermaids and all the stars and all the ways we love each other. Most recently, frogs in a teeny-tiny folk band. Sometimes for kids and sometimes grown-ups, Kate’s novels, non-fiction, and poetry are infused with the salt, woodsmoke, and fresh air of the North Atlantic coast.

“Her writing style is taut, crisp and, in places, overpoweringly beautiful. Inglis conveys wisdom and deep emotion at the same time.” —CM Magazine

“Notes for the Everlost is the most beautifully written book I have read in ages. This book is great company for terrible times.” —Elizabeth McCracken, author of Thunderstruck & Other Stories

“Humility is in not telling other people what to do but in supporting others as they determine what they should do for themselves.”
Kate Inglis, Notes for the Everlost: A Field Guide to Grief

“Grief is not an illness, a diagnosis, or a constant state. Grief is the bruise after a blow. Blackening is normal. Swelling is normal. Then a rotten sort of putrid. Then it sinks beneath the skin, failing to mark you anymore, failing to excuse you, returning you to the masses before you’re ready. You’ll miss the black and blue because as soon as it fades, you go from “honoring” to—as your onlookers might say—“dwelling,” that damnable word.”
Kate Inglis, Notes for the Everlost: A Field Guide to Grief

“Forgive people for not knowing what to say, for filling the vacuum with every wrong thing. The quicker you realize most humans are artless thugs when faced with someone else's grief, the quicker you'll get over it when you meet one.”
Kate Inglis, Notes for the Everlost: A Field Guide to Grief

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
Hayao Miyazaki

“The single most important lesson is this: Focus on clarity. Concentrate on precisions. Don’t worry about constructing beautiful sentences. Beauty comes from meaning, not language. Accuracy is the most effective style of all.”
David Gerald

“Someone told me once, ‘It’s time to get you a pair of overalls, boy.’ But I don’t believe in summing up nothin’ – I let my experiences speak for themselves – and even if I did, a synopsis should be singular. That’s why every time I go out to work in the fields, I work naked. It lets my neighbors speak of my experiences for me.”
M.C. Humphreys

“The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.”
Roald Dahl, The BFG
