KCHIUCARELLO



Hi. I’m K Chiucarello. My friends, family, and sworn enemies call me KC. If you’re adamant on taking a stab at my last name, the ‘u’ is silent. I live in the Hudson Valley. 


When people ask me what I ‘do’, I usually suggest I’m a writer. It’s true: I love words. I love writing as a way of figuring something out. I love text that is deliberate and slow.

From 2022 - 2023 I blacked out for nearly seven months and miraculously wrote the entire shape of my debut novel, called NANNY NANNY, which will be out with Ecco in summer 2026.

NANNY NANNY is a novel about a woman who becomes obsessed with the act of giving birth, following the fall out of a queer and violent relationship. It has unnamed narrator vibes and a will-they, won’t-they subplot. There’s also wealthy New York City children and a story about dimes.

Largely, it is a book about the overlaps of domestic violence and domestic labor. It is about how caretaking is front and center in both of those things. It is a story about storytelling and how women utilize narrative to build out the worlds around them. It is a story about how storytelling can dictate a body. It’s actually a quite funny book.
