She often writes about fractured relationships that are quietly imploding; those little moments that make you go oh god, they’re falling apart aren’t they? She runs the literary magazine, Synaesthesia, which fills her evenings with colour splashes. Her favourite word is liquorice and when she’s not writing, she’s trying to figure where home is. Besides writing, she loves to sing, draw, and explore the world, mainly because she’s a huge foodie and holidays often centre around where to go for dinner. She’s flippant, easily bored, but also very driven/obsessive when she finds something she loves. Her goal is to self-publish her own short story collection, and get the buzz from designing, marketing and selling it herself.

Selected Works: “Bryce Canyon”, “Wallpaper Man”, “Jeanie”

Writing has been an integral part of her life: words have changed Kaity’s life, whether it be on the pages of a classic or her own sprawled onto the parallel veins of an open notebook. She is a freshman at New York University, pursuing degrees in Liberal Studies, Psychology, and Creative Writing. She hopes her words breathe life in you. She hopes her words leave you breathless.
