We are fiction and nonfiction authors. Editors and journalists. Technologists and literary junkies. We are your content team.
MICHELE KELLY, ITALIAN MOTHER/COFOUNDER/CEO/ CORPORATE STORYTELLER AND FICTION WRITER
Storytelling is Passion
Michele cries once a day - emotion is like a breeze against her arms. She has no sense of direction nor time, which makes her often late. Yet she would stop everything if you stopped by. She believes beauty is inside each person, more so in our fault lines. Her ADHD makes her love and hate structure. Being the mother of her Three Everythings is why she was born. Roderick is her rock and refuge. Faith is her North Star.
Michele graduated with a computer science degree from Florida Tech and loves working with tech innovators. Her Italian parents taught her to live an extraordinary life in small ways. She has brought 50+ brands to life, and named nearly a dozen cool companies and “things.” She is a 4x published ghostwriter of nonfiction books. She is the author of What War Reveals: One Family’s Story About the Israel-Hamas War and a contributing author to Today’s Inspired Leader, Goldenheart II: We Are Your Family, 81 Words, a UK book of short stories. She is currently working on a book of short fiction.
RODERICK KELLY, CO-FOUNDER/CHIEF EDITOR/ALWAYS AN EAGLE SCOUT
Small Town Stories are the Best
Roderick is a smashing second editor for K+L Storytellers, a throwback from his days as bureau chief for nationally syndicated Copley News Service. He is a believer in others, leaving his Minnesota town of 1,200 with an unmatched love of story. He has interviewed U.S. presidents, famous authors and serial killers. He has led PR, brand and content for Fortune 500s like Motorola and US Foods.
When you get interviewed by Roderick, you are changed forever. Many of the pieces we write start with him shooting the breeze and then digging deep with people. Once a news hound, always a news hound.
