The rising literary voice stuns New York City with a bold Times Square feature and growing national attention
NEW YORK, NY, June 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — In a moment that perfectly mirrors the themes of transformation and triumph found in her book, author Kathryn Kavicky lit up Times Square with the billboard debut of her novel Yellow Bird — an achievement few authors reach and one that signals Kavicky’s arrival as a powerful new voice in fiction.
The vibrant image of Kavicky on the screen above Broadway, paired with her radiant appearance below it, captures the exact moment this North Carolina-based author turned heads in the publishing world. Yellow Bird, already gaining critical momentum, is being recognized for its emotional honesty, luminous prose, and deeply human storytelling.
A Milestone in the Heart of Manhattan
Kavicky’s appearance on the Times Square billboard places her alongside the world’s most recognized authors, artists, and innovators. Displayed in one of the world’s most photographed locations, the billboard was broadcast to millions via the EarthCam livestream and stopped foot traffic with its bold design and powerful presence.
The billboard celebrated both Yellow Bird and the author herself, positioning Kathryn Kavicky not just as a debut novelist, but as a force in modern storytelling.
About the Book: Yellow Bird
A story of resilience, rediscovery, and radical self-acceptance, Yellow Bird follows a protagonist navigating emotional upheaval with courage and clarity. With its rich narrative voice and layered characters, the novel speaks to anyone who has faced a crossroads — and found the strength to soar.
“Like its title, and the symbolism of the little yellow bird, this book is about having the confidence to move forward, to rise above obstacles,” says Kavicky. “It’s about being optimistic, even when you think your wings are gone.”
Readers and reviewers alike have praised the novel’s introspective tone and uplifting message, calling it “a beautifully written testament to second chances and self-worth.”
