Kylie Ayn Yockey is a queer creative from the southern United States. At present, she calls the Denver, Colorado area home. She grew up (and continues to grow) surrounded by a diverse network of talented friends, powerful women, and supportive family.

A graduate from Spalding University’s Sena Jeter Naslund-Karen Mann Graduate School of Writing, Kylie earned her BA in Creative Writing & Literature from Santa Fe University of Art & Design. In the past, she's edited for Glyph Magazine, The Louisville Review, Ink & Voices, and Good River Review. She’s been a Best of the Net nominee for short fiction and a Mann-Driskell Scholarship recipient for female writers of long-form fiction.

Bolstered by her background in the arts, digital communications, administration, popular culture, and higher education, Kylie currently wears may hats in the literary and marketing realms. She works as a multi-industry social media & digital marketing professional, an independent literary editor and consultant, the poetry editor for Blood Tree Literature, a fiction editor for Chaotic Merge Magazine, and the social media coordinator for EastOver Press + Cutleaf Journal.
