I hadn’t, but the idea intrigued me so much I decided to give it a try. A friend who read my fanfiction asked me if I had ever considered writing something original. I started dabbling in fanfiction to pass the time and discovered how much I loved storytelling. The Cliffs Notes version of the story is this: When I was 22, I was newly married and living alone in a new city while my husband was deployed. I wasn’t one of those kids who said, “I’m going be an author when I grow up!” I’ve always loved to write and it’s always been a huge part of how I process the world, but I had no clue it was what I was meant to do until much later. I have a big heart for helping other writers, so I post weekly writing videos on my YouTube channel, as well as author life vlogs, coffee talks, and more! When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my amazing family and silly dogs, binge-watching shows on Netflix, fangirling over books, and making death-by-cheese casseroles. I’m originally from Alabama, but I’m currently living in Michigan with my husband and three children. I’m a former high school English teacher and current full-time writer, freelance editor, and stay at home mom. My debut novel, Keeper, just came out at the end of January from Flux Books.

Michigan-based YA author Kim Chance didn’t always know she was meant to be a writer but once she put pen to paper she found she couldn’t stop. We all do it, and it’s always a weird, somewhat painful process but that’s how you learn and how you get better.
