Kassia has been creating stories her whole life. As a child, her family told her she had an “overactive imagination and she actively fosters it today. After trading the corporate ladder for small-town life, Kassia joined BARN's Writers Studio and it changed her life. She’s had three short stories published in a digital publication, Context Journal. In 2023, she won third place in short story in the annual Pacific Northwest Writers Association contest. She is a member of Sound Writers, hosts weekly writing sessions for the Writers Studio, and serves as a volunteer for several nonprofits including BARN. Kassia has one terrible novel that she will bury in her backyard, one novel that needs serious re-writing, and one good novel that she hopes to finish editing soon. She enjoys sharing the love and support offered by BARN’s writing community.
