ⓘ About K. Ancrum
She went to Dominican University in order to study Fashion Merchandising, however got lured into obtaining her English degree after spending far too many nights experimenting with hard literary criticism and hanging out with unsavory types, like poetry students. Her writing tends toward minimalist description and heavy dialogue, with poetic gesture alongside some tongue in cheek comedy. Her favorite themes to write about are processing trauma, found family, growing up, the line of demarcation between adulthood and childhood. Kayla’s writing process is very organized because, unfortunately, she doesn’t have the discipline to wander away from her work and come back to it at will. She decided to plot “Darling” out back in 2013.
