AV Kitching

Reporter

Born in Malaysia, AV Kitching moved from her small town of Ipoh to London, England in 1998 to pursue her childhood ambition of becoming a writer.

Her first journalism job was for the Essex Courier, a local weekly newspaper based in Billericay, Essex. She reviewed bands, interviewed chefs, and sat in on community sewing circles, which is where she learned that every single person has a story to tell.

Before she arrived in Winnipeg with her husband and daughter, AV was a freelance writer in London, England. Previous to that she was the food editor at the MailOnline.

She has worked in Malaysia, where she was the sex and dating editor at Time Out KL and the editor of Time Out Malaysia. She was also the digital editor of fashion magazine ELLE Malaysia.

AV’s favorite writers are all poets. She loves cups of tea. She loathes Coffee Crisps. She is curious about what makes people tick.
