Kim Rackham
Author of Short stories
based in VIC
Kim grew up reading books and has never stopped. Now she writes them too – and is in awe of those who illustrate. She thinks out her stories while walking in nature, and these spaces often find a place in her work. The wonder of nature fills her up.
Kim spent many years working as an early childhood teacher, with children whose ideas run big and free. She believes that language and stories and books prepare us for our world and help us through the trickiest of times. The childhood that her parents gave her, and the joy of her own three children, inspire her every day.
While her stories have appeared in the NSW School Magazine over many years, her educational titles have supported new readers in schools. Her junior fiction verse novel, Hannah Backwards (August 2025, Riveted Press) will be followed by its companion novel in 2026. Kim is thrilled to have been awarded a Varuna Residential Fellowship, to take place in the Bue Mountains, NSW, in 2026.
