the power of storytelling

I Only do drama on the page.

Hey there! I'm Kendra—a creative writer, an award-winning journalist, and editor on a mission to spread hope and inspiration through stories—some fact, some fiction. Whether I am crafting contemporary fiction or covering health topics for magazines, I’m passionate about sharing words that connect, inform, and uplift.

So, if you’re looking for a fiction read, faith boost, a little inspo, or someone to remind you that “YOU got this,”  KYM Writes has you covered.

My Mission

I'm passionate about penning words to let people know they can overcome adversity and find peace and hope in dark and broken places. I write contemporary fiction with edge and heart, exploring themes of loss, grief, faith, complex family structures, and the tension between holding on and letting go. As a journalist, I am committed to elevating marginalized voices and patient stories in health care.

Creative Storyteller, Editor, Fiction Writer

I won my first writing award in third grade for my short story, “The Big Splatter.” That moment encouraged me to keep writing. 

I hold a bachelor's degree in magazine journalism and an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) from Columbia College Chicago. My short fiction has appeared in The Master's Review, The Avalon Literary Review, Hair Trigger, and Midnight & Indigo. I am a 2026 Kimbilio Fellow and a participant in the 2026 Storehouse Voices' Women & Words literary program. I am currently revising my debut novel and developing a short story collection.
