Life and career

In 2007, Krizan was selected as spokesperson for the screenwriting software Final Draft.

In 2008, Krizan’s sci-fi/horror comic book, “2061,” was published in Zombie Tales #1, 9, and 11, with all three installments collected into a stand-alone graphic novella entitled Zombie Tales 2061. In 2010, she also contributed the story “Of and Concerning the Ancient, Mystical, and Holy Origins of ... CBGBs” to issue #3 of the CBGB comic book miniseries.

In October 2012, Publishers Weekly spotlighted Krizan's self-publishing efforts on Kickstarter[6] for her debut non-fiction book Original Sins: Trade Secrets of the Femme Fatale.[7] The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded in November 2012.[8] Krizan's book is available on Amazon.com.[9]

On September 27, 2013, Kim Krizan published an article on The Huffington Post revealing she had found a previously unpublished love letter written by Gore Vidal to the diarist Anaïs Nin. This letter contradicts Vidal's previous characterization of his relationship with Nin, showing that Vidal did have feelings for her that he later heavily disavowed in his autobiography, Palimpsest. Krizan did this research in the run up to the release of the latest volume of Nin's uncensored diary, Mirages, for which she wrote the foreword.[10]

In 2019 Krizan published Spy in the House of Anaïs Nin, an examination of long-buried letters, papers, and original manuscripts Krizan found while doing archival work in Nin's Los Angeles home.[11]  The book was designated a best seller in feminist literary criticism on Amazon.[12]

Kim Krizan is a board member of The Anais Nin Foundation.

gollark: We rationalize things to death instead of thinking rationally, our reasoning is built on tangles of cognitive biases, and humans cannot effectively multitask.
