AV Kitching

Reporter

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

Her first proper job was at a newspaper in Essex, England. She reviewed bands, interviewed chefs and sat in on community sewing circles, which is where she learnt every single person has a story to tell.

Her career has seen her taking notes at local council meetings, cooking in busy kitchens, going on army maneuvers, sitting in the front row of fashion shows, drinking 16 beers in a day and once, most memorably, butchering a pig… all for a story.

Before she landed 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 drinking cups of tea. She loathes Coffee Crisps. She is curious about what makes people tick.
