Kailey Bright is fantasy YA fiction author and computer scientist, which means she writes code during daylight and writes about fantastical worlds under starlight.
Tired of YA stories where protagonists suddenly get secret, plot-helpful powers, Bright seeks to write powerful and ambitious stories about characters who persevere with and through disadvantages. Her books are meant to positively impact readers who struggle with challenging societal norms and cultivating inner growth.
When she’s not tanning under her computer screen’s glow, Kailey enjoys winning at mediocre bowling and drinking iced coffee at all hours of the day.
