Kelly Coon is an educator, editor, and the USA TODAY bestselling author of young adult novels including the Gravemaidens duology and the inspirational nonfiction Take Up Space, Y’all. She loves writing characters who challenge social norms and battle inner demons to become their best (and worst) selves.

Kelly lives near Tampa, Florida, with her family and a rescue dog named Roxy, who refuses proper training.
