Kerry Kelly is a native of North Bay, Ontario. Her writing career began at the tender age of three, when she took a pen to the introductory pages inside the volumes of the family encyclopedia set. No blank sheet of paper has been safe since.

She holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree from Ottawa's Carleton University and is currently working towards a Master of Information degree with a particular interest in Book History and Print Culture.

She has been a full-time professional print and web writer since 1998. Her byline has appeared in publications such as the Toronto Star, Now magazine, the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, the Sudbury Star, and the North Bay Nugget. She has covered a broad range of political, economic and social issues in her writing career.

She likes both the Rock and the Roll, and while she has yet to call Toronto her home, she's happy to admit she lives there.
