Kirstie Bedford is an award-winning travel writer, editor and podcaster with three decades of experience in the media industry.

​

Growing up in New Zealand, her school reports stated how she excelled in storytelling (and talking), but it wasn’t until much later in life, after having a family, focusing on her career, and moving countries (she’s now based in Melbourne, Australia), that she pursued it seriously and found her voice with crime fiction.

​

When not coming up with ideas for her next page-turning crime fiction, Kirstie is Luxury Editor at Karryon, and host of The World Awaits travel podcast. 

​

She is also a freelance travel writer, published widely across Australasia.

​

Her first novel, White Lies, will be published in 2027.
