Author bio

Kelsie Stelting writes sweet, contemporary romances about teenagers and young adults figuring out love, friendship, family, and who they want to become.

Her books make room for messy feelings. A character may be carrying a secret, recovering from heartbreak, trying to earn a scholarship, or simply hoping someone will see them for who they are.

Stelting has said that, growing up, she wanted to find more stories about girls who felt insecure sometimes, worked hard, stumbled, and kept getting back up. When she couldn't find enough of those stories, she started writing them herself. She published her first book in 2016.

That starting point still shapes her work. Her romances are often about confidence as much as crushes. The characters want happy endings, but first they have to deal with body image, money worries, family pressure, grief, school drama, and the uncomfortable business of being honest with themselves.

Her best-known books are the Curvy Girl Club novels, beginning with Curvy Girls Can't Date Quarterbacks. The series follows different plus-size teens at Emerson Academy, where friendship circles, sports, dances, rumors, and first love all collide. Each romance has its own couple, while familiar faces keep showing up in the background.

The books are warm, but they don't pretend high school is easy.

Elsewhere, Stelting writes the Texas-set stories Chasing Skye, Becoming Skye, and Loving Skye, which follow a volleyball player whose plans are shaken by injury and family problems. The Abi books, beginning with Abi and the Boy Next Door, center on a teen rebuilding her life after moving in with her grandmother. In Dear Adam, an anonymous school advice column puts two students from very different worlds in contact.

She also has a fondness for letters, messages, and the awkward bravery of telling somebody how you feel. Always Anika, Fabio vs. the Friend Zone, and Sincerely Cinderella all use that emotional distance in different ways, giving characters room to say things on paper that feel much harder to say face-to-face.

Her stories tend to be hopeful, even when the characters are having a rough time. They lean into close friendships, family ties, small towns, school communities, and romances where people learn to show up for one another.

Stelting lives in Colorado with her husband and their three children. Outside the page, she has described herself as curious, interested in learning from other people, and fond of travel and sunshine. Those interests fit her books well. They are built for readers who want a brief escape, but also want the people in that escape to feel recognizably human.
