About Kim
Kim Lock is an internationally published author, writer and freelance graphic designer based in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Inspired by a fascination with what happens behind closed doors, Kim's fiction explores the stories that shape peoples lives – but that they hide from society.
Kim has published three novels, including Like I Can Love, which was selected to participate in the QWC/Hachette Australia Manuscript Development Program in 2013 and subsequently released in Australia, the UK and Germany. Her essays and opinion pieces on writing, feminism and motherhood have appeared in Kill Your Darlings, The Guardian, Daily Life and The Sydney Morning Herald online, among others.
In 2009 Kim received a Cert IV in Breastfeeding Education (Counselling), and volunteered supporting women and families in this role for several years.
Her fourth novel, The Other Side of Beautiful, will be published by HarperCollins HQ Fiction in 2021.
