Hello! I'm Kaila Patterson (she/her) and I'm an author and activist. My first book was released in 2021 and my work has been published by Writeadelic, Paper Lanterns, The Afterpast Review and The Expressionist. Outside of writing I'm an iWill Ambassador advocating for youth rights. Occasionally I review books and I'm a Finalist for Fiction in the 2024 Rising Voices Awards.
