Schaumburg resident Kate Guerrero has been named the winner of the fifth annual Soon to Be Famous Illinois Author Project Manuscript Contest for her prospective debut novel, "Burn and Balm."
Kate Guerrero of Schaumburg took "a giant leap of faith" writing the manuscript for "Burn and Balm," a razor-sharp tale of gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss culture set against a backdrop of diapers and breast pumps.
