Her father was the late Okot p'Bitek (1931–1982), an internationally recognized poet and scholar.[2] She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing and a Master of Arts degree in English. As of February 2018, she was a Doctor of Philosophy candidate at the University of British Columbia's Liu Institute for Global Issues.[2] CareerOkot Bitek migrated from her native Uganda and settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 1990. She writes, attends university and teaches to support herself. She admits that creative writing does not pay all the bills unless one is a top-notch author.[2] RecognitionIn 2004, Okot Bitek’s short story "Going Home" won a special mention in the 2004 Commonwealth Short Story Contest. It was featured on the British Broadcasting Corporation and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Her story "War No More" won first prize in a StopWar post-secondary essay competition in 2005. Another essay on Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking also won a special mention in 2006 and is included in an anthology of winning essays from that year. In 2007, Okot Bitek received a grant from the Canada Council, which has facilitated her to write non-fiction.[2] Her work has been published widely online, in print and in literary magazines, including in Arc Poetry Magazine, Whetstone, Fugue, and Room of One's Own.[2] See also
