We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Katie Nelson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Katie below.

Katie, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I learned to write from reading first and foremost. Reading the books of others is the best teacher! But, I’ve also had some amazing teachers as well. If you want to be a writer – just start writing! Journal, take classes, read books. If there’s a book you love, analyze what the author does well. One of the best (and hardest) things about writing is that you can always get better.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I wrote my first story in first grade – it was a horrible mystery but I loved creating it! I started writing romcoms in 2021 as a way to focus on positive things while going through health struggles- which I eventually found out was related to endometriosis.

I’ve written 8 romcoms and am starting my 9th! My stories are full of humor, heart and Hallmark vibes. This means there will be lots of laughs and always a happily ever after!

My latest release is called A Sicilian Escape. A Sicilian Escape is a short and sweet romcom, perfect for those moments when you need a dose of sunshine and heartwarming fun. Imagine yourself strolling through ancient architecture, savoring delicious food and getting caught up in the delightful moments between characters. It’s available on Amazon now!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

I write clean romance so that people can take a break from the stresses of life and be reminded that amidst the challenges, there is joy.

Life is hard, but there is a good God that gives us so much to be thankful for. Stories can remind us to appreciate the people in our lives and that we have the ability to make a difference. They teach us empathy by allowing us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding part of being an author is connecting with others. I’ve met so many people – other readers and authors – who have encouraged and inspired me. Never be afraid to reach out to authors, we love it! If you’d like to connect or learn more, you can find me on Instagram @authorkatienelson.
