Caitlin Hicks

Caitlin Hicks is an author, international playwright, and acclaimed performer in British Columbia, Canada.

My life and work have been profoundly affected by the central circumstance of my existence: I was born into a large Catholic family in the United States of America. As a child surrounded by many others, I wrote, performed and directed family plays.

Writing has always been a personal spiritual journey, although my work is not religious. I am drawn towards stories that I don't hear often in the mainstream culture, often, something that 'cannot be said'.

I wrote my first novel, A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE to celebrate the rich heritage of my family experience, after my father disinherited me.

A past member of Playwrights Guild of Canada, I belong to Federation of B.C. Writers and Writer's Union of Canada. I review books for The New York Journal of Books.

It is my belief that writing can connect us to each other deeply; it celebrates our individuality as well as the richness of our diversity.
