Kaci O’Meara

Kaci O'Meara is an up and coming writer/zine-maker from Glasgow city. She started writing at ten years old after discovering her love for fiction and script writing. At age sixteen, after choosing to abandon writing as a career path, she unearthed her true passion and talent in poetry after studying the work of Carol Ann Duffy. Kaci then went on to study Media and Communications at college to broaden her talents in the creative industries. Now, at twenty-one, Kaci has a large body of published work, both in print and online of written and visual media. In 2024, she even made the short list for the Heroica poetry prize. After a year of sharing her work online, she now regularly performs at open mics across the city where she has found a deep connection to the city's poetry community. Her work has evolved over the years and Kaci has found her calling in poetry and short stories that channel her intense emotions and experiences through a gothic, and often gory lens. Her literary inspirations are Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and author J.M Frost. For the past year Kaci has been running an online newsletter (soon to be brought into print) called The Ghoulish Gazette - a media based newsletter that she created to express herself, and share the fruits of her creativity with the world.
