THE HOME FRONT
This is me. I like to hang out with walls. Walls are so cool.
WHO is this so called KIM FIRMSTON?
Kim am a real life mutant – though one without any cool powers. When she is not writing or cursing obvious villain mistakes, she warps young minds in her Reality is Optional Kid’s Writing Club, at WordsWorth Writing Camp and through the Dramantics Theatre Camp.
Her short story, Life Before War, was short listed in the 2008 CBC Literary Award and published in FreeFall Magazine. Returning Home, was published in the Alexandra Reader Anthology. Her children’s plays (many of which were co-written with children) have been produced across North America and at the Calgary Fringe Festival. She has published five YA books which can be seen here, has been the Writer in Residence for Open book Toronto, and has been interviewed in the April 2014 edition of Canadian Children's Book News for their regular column called "Keep an Eye on..."
Kim is dedicated to sharing writing with children of all ages including those not able to write yet and promoting youth who wish to make it their career.
