About Me

Hello, I'm Kat.

I am a science fiction and fantasy writer, film critic and content creator based in London, UK - though I sound American, and originally hail from Greece.

My podcasting work stretches back to 2008, when I co-hosted the first ever Greek-language podcast on anime. Since then I have been a regular contributor to several UK film podcasts, such as Flickering Myth's review podcast (and YouTube channel), soundtrack podcast The Composers, and film/TV review podcast Kneel Before Pod. I am currently a Hugo-Award-nominated podcast editor for Strange Horizons, a speculative fiction magazine, and am in development with a podcast of my own.

I have also been a speaker at science fiction conferences - including the World Science Fiction Convention, Worldcon, in Helsinki (2017), Dublin (2019), and Chicago (2022).

Topics you can contact me about:

  • Film (2000s+, indie, LGBT, superhero; soundtracks a particular area of interest)
  • Anime (sports, shonen, science fiction/fantasy subgenres)
  • Geek culture (cosplay, conventions, community building)
  • YouTube (content creation, YT community and online culture, best practices)
  • Science Fiction and Fantasy (current landscape preferred to classics or Golden Age SF)
  • Writing (fiction, poetry, non-fiction/blogging)
  • Theatre (familiar with the UK scene, as well as some Broadway/Off-Broadway)
