Trilby

Trilby Kent was born in Toronto but grew up all over the map thanks to her peripatetic journalist parents. After completing degrees from Oxford and the LSE, she spent a year working at a London auction house – but soon gave it up to become a freelance journalist and writer.

Her first novel – for children 9-14 – will be published in 2009 (Tundra Books). A “grown-up” novel, set in Ceylon and Flanders in the 1930s, is represented by Greene & Heaton.

She got her first ’scoop’ as deputy editor of Oxford University’s student newspaper, The Cherwell: an interview with Conrad Black. Since then, she has written essays, interviews, reviews and investigative reports for the Canadian national press, a range of literary magazines and news publications in Europe and the U.S. Her short stories have appeared in Mslexia, Litro and The African American Review.

Almost a year since receiving a 1910 Sigwalt letterpress, she has yet to decide where the gauge pins go.

  • Book Fox (vulpes libris): a small bibliovorous mammal of overactive imagination and uncommonly large bookshop expenses. Book foxes live in a wide variety of habitats, and usually find something to read in the unlikeliest places. They tend to hunt alone but often gather in packs to discuss their prey.
