In 2021, freelance journalist Kate Silver got her first assignment for Rotary Magazine: to write about the power of music when it comes to memory, even in those who have Alzheimer’s and dementia. In the years since, Rotary has become a favorite outlet for Kate, because of the rich, inspiring stories and characters she gets to meet, who also happen to be Rotarians.
In this Q and A with Rushton Hurley, Kate will talk about some of the more memorable stories she’s written for the magazine, and why it’s admirable that Rotary invests in good journalism to share the work of its members.
Kate Silver has been writing professionally for more than 20 years. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post, O the Oprah Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, Men’s Health, Chicago Tribune and Rotary Magazine. In addition, she works with businesses, non-profits and universities to write content that brings their work—and their mission—to life.
Silver has also ghostwritten several books about individuals and their legacies.
