I’ve been inactive on here, but catching up to announce my debut novel YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT comes out Fall 2026 with @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social! Libby must team up with a distractingly handsome ghost in order to save her childhood crush (and love of her life) from a generational curse. 👻👻

(🧵) According to google sheets, the spreadsheet I made for plotting You’re the One That I Haunt was created on April 1st last year, which means we’re coming up on the 1-year mark of me thinking, dreaming, and giggling about Trip and Libby. #writingcommunity

I’m excited to announce that I’m now represented by Ariele Fredman at UTA!! I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Ariele. Her editorial vision completely aligns with the story I want to tell. Plus, I loved her energy from our very first call. #writingcommunity

👻👻 To save her best friend and lifelong crush from his family’s deadly curse, Libby must team up with (and try not to catch feelings for) a handsome ghost only she can see. 👻👻 I can’t wait for this to be featured in the SmoochPit showcase next month and to begin my #querying journey. ✨❤️

The face of a girl who never expected to make it to the Eras Tour and ended up with floor seats last night. 😭😭 I could wax poetic about what Taylor means to me as an artist and a storyteller but I’ll spare you. If you’re a Swiftie, I’m sure you already know!! 🩷🩵 #erastour #taylorswift

I'm going crazy waiting for "approval" from Catherine, so, here's another guide for my second chance romance, WHO COULD STAY (Where the Crawdads Sing X Meet Me at the Lake) in which a tortured artist gets drug home to care for her her gran, and mend her burned bridges. #booksky #writingcommunity

I've put off sharing my "HIGMA" because it's not sunshine and rainbows. if you're in the query trenches, making every mistake and fighting for your book---you're not alone, and if I found my person, you can too. 💙 @charmstrong.bsky.social #writingcommunity open.substack.com/pub/kellylbe...

First post in this space!! Gotta dedicate it to my #Survivor inspired #wip RIVAL ISLE An adult romcom with… 💕 second chance romance 😉 fake dating 💛 mid-20s identity struggles 👯 twin switcheroo 🏝️ tropical reality TV setting 🔥 challenges, idols, eliminations Querying in early 2025 🤞🏼

Moodboard mocked up to look like CBS Survivor web homepage.

Text says: "RIVAL ISLE--premiering early 2025.

After an accident forces curmudgeonly 26-year-old Willa to take her twin’s spot on an adventure competition show, she’s determined to lie, cheat, and steal her way to the cash prize that will save her family’s struggling board game café.

But when it’s revealed that viewers help influence players’ fates, Willa plans to steal America’s hearts (and votes) by faking romance with rival Noel--who happens to be her past flame.

After all... who doesn’t love a love story?"
