Chrissy Kett is a writer and experienced teacher at The Kett School of Speech and Drama, where she has been working with 4 to 19-year-olds for over fourteen years. She also enjoys delivering “Bringing Books to Life” dance workshops, for West End In Schools. 

Chrissy’s background is in musical theatre, having trained at The Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts; she has performed in London venues such as Sadler’s Wells and The New Wimbledon Theatre, and has toured the UK extensively. 

After many years in the theatre, she decided she no longer wanted to be a talking prop, and that it was time she wrote some material of her own. 

She now writes fiction and verse, for both adults and children, with a particular focus on the YA genre. She was thrilled when her verse Centennial Christmas won The Sloane Square Choral Society Carol Competition.  

She has recently finished writing a dystopian trilogy, which questions our decisive and binary society.

When she’s not teaching she can be found in coffee shops writing and sipping a latté; indeed, she can only write anything worth reading with excessive levels of caffeine.
