Kirti Vyas

Author, Teacher, and Entrepreneur

In her heart of hearts, Kirti Vyas believes she can make any art. Her head knows better, but that does not stop her from having a go at it all – writing, illustrating, designing, making jewelry or collages, as paper is her favorite medium. Writing, however, has always been both her beacon and her harbor, above all.

Now on track to write lyrics with creative and commercial goals, Kirti has written curriculum for ELA, advertisements, articles, blogs, corporate brochures, website content, instructional manuals, product descriptions, workbooks for her emerging writers, a compilation of her poems, and most recently, a collection of short stories based in India. She is always excited to explore other forms and formats of writing.

A certified K-6, and Secondary-School Language Arts teacher with a Master of Science degree in Education and a Diploma in Writing Children's Literature, Kirti teaches writing to motivated students. She founded Brainy Alley Writing and Critical-thinking Classes in 2007 because she believes that creativity can be taught, and success is more than a goal—it is an attitude.

Kirti has always been involved in writing and books in some way or the other as far back as she can remember. When she is not reading or writing, she is either book-hunting, or crafting. Her other predominant activity is to hang out in Fairfield, Connecticut, with her friends and family – her husband, two sons, all avid readers, and their dogs, where the conversation often revolves around, yes, all things books!
