Kath Van Doorn
Kath Van Doorn is a third-year Creative Writing student studying fiction, nonfiction, and poetry at VIU. In the past year, she has completed a YA novel with the assistance of Professor Joy Gugeler, which is currently under consideration by publishers. An excerpt of the YA story titled “Two Peas in a Pod” appears in the 2023 edition of Portal Magazine. Her short fiction piece “In Sickness and in Health” appeared in Sea & Cedar Magazine in 2021, and “Barriers” appeared in the 2020 poetry anthology Alone but Not Alone: Poetry in Isolation. When her homework is done (as if that ever happens), you can find Kath surfing in Tofino, driving too fast, or hanging out with the old folks at Eden Gardens.
