I’m Kylie Fennell – an experienced workshop facilitator, professional speaker and author with more than two decades of marketing, publishing and storytelling expertise.
As a Practising Marketer, accredited business trainer and book publisher, I help authors and writers confidently step into their power – whether that’s by learning how to market their books, build their brand, or publish with purpose.
I regularly present at festivals, libraries, schools and writers’ centres, delivering engaging sessions that combine practical, step-by-step advice with a dose of creativity and humour (because learning should never be boring).
I’ve run workshops for the Queensland Writers Centre, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Redland libraries, and presented at GenreCon several times. I also visit schools – virtually or in-person – to inspire young readers and writers to chase their own stories.
I hold a Bachelor in Public Relations, Journalism and Media Production, an Advanced Diploma of Management, and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
