I'm Kieren, I make videos supporting and encouraging writers to tell their stories and to have fun doing it. Writing is hard, but you don't have to do it alone. My channel is a safe, inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations. Diversity makes us stronger, and I welcome individuals from all communities—especially those who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other underrepresented groups. I'm always trying to be better, if I fall short, let me know! I don't tolerate hate-speech or negativity. Check out my website for my full bio and a list of my achievements in writing. Don't contact me to promote AI in any capacity. Email address for business enquiries only. I WILL NEVER EMAIL YOU PERSONALLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. BEWARE OF SCAMS. [email protected] is NOT ME.
