Kelly-Mae Matt
(She/They)
My pen is like a needle while the ink is my thread. I weave between worlds and words, sewing together the seams of a story waiting to be told.
If only for a brief moment in time, I hope that you can fall into one of my stories and find something to enjoy.
I made my flash and fiction writing debut with 'Awakening' in the fourth issue of Fiery Scribe Review. Since then, I have been published in Thanatos Review, midsummer literary magazine, Haunted Words Press and more.
Currently, I pen flash, micro and short fiction and non-fiction. My interest lies in surrealist fiction and fantasy, and I enjoy creating something where I can bridge the gap between reality and a dreamlike state.
As a writer, my inspiration comes from the world that surrounds us. From the colours that filter our vision to the nature that takes our breath away, I hope to capture the world we reside in and bring it to life through my words.
Outside of writing I have a keen interest in travel, Japanese music, Pokémon, urban legends and fairy tales. I also have a deep-rooted love for coleslaw and identify as a pen-romantic, because who doesn't love a good pen? (To translate: I am an avid pen collector)
In October of 2023, I completed my Masters degree in Creative Writing and Publishing. I also hold a bachelors degree in Creative Writing and Film Studies.

Find Me
To find my wandering soul, search on the site formerly known as Twitter. There, I will type a few words and retweet all that I find interesting. Outside of that, I can also be found musing on my blog, Wota in Crisis, where I write about Japanese music. I may also be roaming around the website Beyond Senpai, where I further indulge in this interest and review music as a writer and editor for the site.
