Kiptoo Kariuki Opio

Writer of fiction and translation

  • 🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
  • Nairobi Times
  • 1980 to 2016
  • English
I've been writing from 1980 to 2016. First as a hobby, then as a job and finally as the thing I couldn't stop doing. I write best early in the morning with a pot of tea. I make terrible puns. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

More about Kiptoo

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
What gifts mean to Kiptoo: A gift would give me a bit more time to write instead of taking on extra work.
