K.L. Kettle

Kathryn L. Kettle writes speculative fiction that explores power dynamics, grief, the human cost of control and technology. Born in Birmingham and now based in London, she draws on a career as a woman in the world of global technology to build worlds that examine how systems shape identity, freedom, and resistance.

Her debut, The Boy I Am, was Carnegie nominated and recognised across multiple UK literary awards. She is a neurodiverse gamer, mother to twins and a passionate advocate for women’s leadership and diversity in STEM.
