ABOUT ME

Kelsie Stone – Your Plot-Twisting, Theme-Taming, Magic-Loving Book Coach

Hi, I’m Kelsie, an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, and I was raised in the most magical-sounding real town there is—North Pole, Alaska. (Yes, it’s real. Yes, we get letters to Santa. No, I don’t work for him—book coaching keeps me plenty busy.)

I specialize in helping indie authors craft unforgettable stories in fantasy, Christian fiction, magical realism, and fairy tale-inspired worlds. Whether you’re deep in the woods of your Red Riding Hood retelling or figuring out how your faith-based epic fits together, I’m here to help you go from messy draft to meaningful manuscript—without losing your voice or your vision.

As a writer myself, I know how vulnerable, exciting, and overwhelming this journey can be. You’ve got this burning story, but suddenly you’re drowning in plot holes, uncertain pacing, and a sneaky theme that refuses to settle. That’s where I come in: with clear guidance, honest feedback, and a deep respect for your story's heart.

When I’m not knee-deep in story structure or cheering on my coaching clients, you’ll find me wrangling four cats, one dog, and two feral children alongside my husband—all while surviving Alaskan winters with strong coffee and stronger plotlines.

If you’re an indie author looking for someone who gets fantasy tropes, cares about craft, and won’t flinch at a little magic (or manuscript chaos), you’re in the right place.

✨ Let’s turn your story into something powerful, purposeful, and publishable.

Curious about what LSM stands for? It stands for “litera scripta manet",” which is Latin for “the written word remains.” It’s my joy to recall that our written words have a longer life than spoken words, and I want to instill that in everything I do to help you write your story so that it can be read by people who aren’t even living yet.

I would love to help you get started or unstuck on your story. Contact me today for a consultation!
