Alex Kirkland is a writer and author based out of Kansas City. He and his debut memoir, Wolves of Hemp Street, were nominated for Best Local Author in The Kansas City Pitch. It has also been featured in Westword Magazine and Canvas Rebel.

Since the release of Wolves, Alex has been very active on the blog and writer platform, Medium. There he writes his day-to-day musings, but also gives advice on mental health, as he has walked through the fire himself. His new project, When Obstacles Limit Freedom, is the first in a two-part mental health memoir series. When Alex isn’t writing he’s watching his Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowls, thanks to Taylor Swift.
