Kelsey Gallant

I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, in December 1993. As a child, I always loved to read, particularly series such as The Babysitters Club and The Boxcar Children. I had quite the imagination, and was constantly writing stories inside my head. I used to tell some of these stories to my brother, and even now we remember bits and pieces of the ludicrous plots I came up with.

I first began writing down some of my stories when I was nine, in the form of a mystery series about a girl named Doylie Dot. As my writing matured over the years, I switched from folded-over pieces of printing paper to spiral-bound notebooks, and from 6-page stories about nine-year-olds catching burglars to longer, more detailed novels about various aspects of life.

I still enjoy reading, when I have the time. My favorite authors include Karen Kingsbury, Margaret Peterson Haddix, and Marissa Meyer. I am also a singer/songwriter (YouTube: OfficialKelseyGallant) who loves telling stories through music. If I'm not working on a creative project, it's probably because I'm off on an adventure with my family or friends! I love traveling, game nights, and learning languages. I owe everything in my life to my amazing God, who constantly gives me more than I deserve.
