Welcome to My Writing Journey

I'm Kayla Van Bortel, a writer exploring the intersection of traditional storytelling and visual media. I'm a novelist at heart, but I also write short fiction, dabble with interactive Twine stories, and draw my characters a dozen times over. Through my work, I aim to inspire, connect, and share meaningful stories with readers around the world.

Currently working on Out of Nowhere, a fantasy novel about secrets, ambition, and the price of belonging.
