Kylie Fitzpatrick is an internationally acclaimed novelist, educator and speaker with a background in broadcasting. Kylie has developed and led writing courses and events for Faber Academy, Writers & Artists at Bloomsbury, London Lit Lab, Jericho Writers, and many arts organisations and cultural bodies in the UK and Australia, including Oxford University and the Australian National University. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University, UK, where she lectured for several years on the graduate and MA programmes.

Her writing and teaching are driven by a fascination with storytelling and narrative as the mechanism through which we build shared meaning, organise power and develop a culture. Through the stories we tell, we survive as a species because every law, nation, religion, and identity has, at its core, a story collectively agreed upon. 

Her Explorative Writing workshops are informed by health and humanities research into the potential for creative writing to empower, inspire, and provide insight. She believes that, through writing, we can more deeply understand ourselves, the past, and the present. She delivers workshops and courses, in person and online, in the UK, Europe and Australia, and offers one-to-one consultancy and mentoring.
