About me
Katie Gilmartin’s checkered past includes stints as a buoyant union organizer, bona fide sex researcher, and deeply engaged college professor. She cofounded City Art Cooperative Gallery, a still-thriving arts space on Valencia Street, and launched the Queer Ancestors Project, devoted to forging sturdy relationships between young Queer and Trans artists and their ancestors. Her illustrated novel, Blackmail, My Love, won Lambda Literary and Indiefab Awards. Her second novel, Vice Academy, is a fictional account of an actual 1954 raid on a lesbian/trans bar in San Francisco’s North Beach, and is currently in search of a publisher.
