Kate Ellsworth

At Running Press, I acquire across the RP Adult, Studio, and Minis lists with a focus on RP Inspires and Studio. For RP Inspires, I am acquiring adult illustrated books and nonfiction in the categories of art and design, lifestyle, wellness, body/mind/spirit, and creative and personal development. For RP Studio, I am acquiring ancillary and original decks, guided journals, and other book-plus products. 

As I build my list at Running Press, I am excited to be working with RP authors Jennifer Sodini and Danielle Krysa on their newest titles. Other books I would’ve particularly loved to acquire at Running Press and beyond include Take Back the Magic, Art Hiding in New York, Dopamine Decor, Returning Home to Our Bodies, and How to Manifest. 

In all categories, I’m drawn to projects with an authentic voice and fresh perspective—especially those that weave a personal narrative with a broader message—and have a committed interest in works that address women’s issues and champion underrepresented voices. I am especially excited by projects that blur the lines between the categories in which I acquire, such as self-development guides for artists or lifestyle books with a touch of wellness. In art and design, I am seeking projects that marry traditional art book sensibilities with commercial awareness and appeal.

Across categories and formats, I am passionate about the interplay of content and package.
