Kilby in the Media
In addition to writing novels, I publish nonfiction author manuals and teach at conferences. In service of other authors, I’ve written Op/Eds for publications like Publisher’s Weekly and Writer’s Digest, and I’m a former columnist for the Romance Writer’s Report. This section is a hodge-podge of media articles written about me or my books, media interviews I’ve given, guest blog postings I’ve written, and thought leadership I’ve penned for various publications.
