A librarian and educator by day, Anita Kelly is a voracious devotee of HEAs of all shapes and sizes by night. As both a reader and a writer, she believes romance can be revolutionary. She was a Pitch Wars 2019 mentee, mentored by Meryl Wilsner & Rosie Danan. She is now repped by Kim Lionetti of BookEnds Literary and is the author of an upcoming three-book queer contemporary romance series published by Forever, a romance imprint of Hachette. Raised in a small town in the Poconos, she received her BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College before foolishly piling on more debt with masters in Education and Library Science from Portland State. She now lives in the Pacific Northwest with her wife, son, cat, and three-legged dog.

#MSWL:

Give me your best gay shit. As queer as you can get, and as high heat as you want. Your bi, lesbo, trans, non-binary happily ever afters—although I will happily read about straights/cishets, too, as long as you have some diversity included! I particularly love found family, hurt/comfort, and grumpy/sunshine, but I love all the tropes, all the angst, and all the humor. Note: I will never inquire about your own personal identity. Unless you're a TERF. Otherwise, I can't wait to meet you & your characters!
