My name is Colin Kemp; I'm a writer, who loves reading great literature, from Ottawa, Canada. I write short fiction and personal essays. For my day job, I work as a scientist in the domains of industrial-organizational psychology and data science. When I'm not writing or reading, I enjoy playing the blues harmonica, practicing gymnastics, going to cafés, and visiting art galleries. Feel free to reach out!

Note on AI: while generative AI is, in my opinion, a useful tool, I do not use it in my writing process. (I'll use it occasionally to generate an image for this site, but I prefer to use actual photos, where possible.) For me, writing is as much about the process as it is about the final product; moreover, only I can write my story, and so I do.
