Bio

Hi I’m Kylie! I write Young Adult fiction and short stories. I’m currently completing a Masters of Creative Writing and Communication which I am really enjoying. I have had a number of short memoir pieces published in various anthologies and am currently working on a contemporary young adult novel. It’s hard to pick a favourite novel but I’ve always loved Jane Eyre and I find Charlotte Bronte such an inspirational woman for her time. Other than reading I enjoy walking the beautiful beaches and trails of the Mornington Peninsula with my family.

YA, Short Stories

To creatively engage with the world. To share common experiences and connect with others. To express myself and hope that my writing makes a difference for someone
