Madlug: Your Voice - Kirsty Capes

Madlug: Your Voice - Kirsty Capes

Kirsty Capes is a voice amplifying the narratives of care leavers through her writing. Her debut novel, 'Careless' centres around Bess, a 15-year-old girl navigating pregnancy while in foster care – a story that promises to challenge perceptions of those who have experienced the care system. Beyond her writing, Kirsty is a force in publishing, advocating for enhanced representation of care-experienced individuals in media. With a PhD focused on care narratives in contemporary fiction under the guidance of Booker prize-winner Bernardine Evaristo, Kirsty is reshaping the conversation on care experiences.
