Bio
Kevin Kevany
[Pse forgive the dumb Linkedin "category".When will they catch on?] Cathy is a dream publisher to work for in an industry which is not always the most ethical (and we all know who they are from bitter experience). I have worked as a freelance for a few of her publications for the last 7-8 years (can't recall dates exactly). Far from chasing payments -- I'm the one being given the "hurry up" when I've forgotten to bill. She's never ever put pressure on me to follow a particular line etc. One of, if not, the brightest beacons of light when it comes to the publishing game, as far as I'm concerned.
