ABOUT
"A dreamer, guided by moonlight, night flowers, and fireflies, who chased her dreams into reality."
Ty Tzavrinou: Author, Poet, Content Writer, Screenwriter, Podcaster, Creative Director, Artist, and Historian. And, not forgetting to mention the most important thing of all, the occasional Pirate with a hipflask of Yorkshire tea.
If we’re to flourish in today’s weird and wonderful world of exposure, then surely, we must bring our whole selves to the Ikea table. Clothes optional. Well, I’ve done just that. I’ve also brought Studsby (my wife), my doggy daughter Nemesis, and a gigantic pot of tea along with me too. And French pastries. Because what is a writer without an obsession with all things sugary?
So, who is Ty Tzavrinou?
I’m a kaleidoscope of creative pursuits, mostly human, who divides my time between writing poetry (Twelve Seasons, Laundry, and SHE), articles on current issues (Redzine, Urban Woman, Faced, The Cypriot Review, Askew, The Feminist Dialogue), biographies (Soup, Porcelain, Race), and the unpublished psychological thriller that’s hidden within my desk draw. Not forgetting my favorite pastime of all - keeping The Kink of Writing blog up to date with all my musings, shenanigans, and introverted movements. When I’m not writing or lecturing, or locked away in my studio throwing paint around, I’m the host of the podcast The Kink of Writing; documenting the grind of an uphill climb, which often feels as frightening and fascinating and as beautifully bizarre as climbing Everest, as well as documenting my foodie flaws and foodie fetishes, my extroverted creative life vs. my introverted academic life, in between reinforcing the power of sisterhood and united voices, and not forgetting dodging rejection letters because they’re gross and just ugh, right?
Whatever is going on in my weird and wonderful, and sometimes extremely tedious, and other times overly complicated life, you’re going to hear all about it on my “dear diary” podcast. The Kink of Writing podcast is available now.
PROS: I eat misogynists for breakfast with scrambled eggs.
