I’m Kenzie May

​About me

I was always the kid who had to be told to stop reading on vacation (literally, Mom would have to go to the backyard and tell me to interact with others). Now I write the stories I once needed when I was little: fun and whimsical coming-of-age novels that help teens feel less alone. When I'm not attempting to write the next bestseller, I usually can be found teaching swim lessons, trying new boba shops, or pretending I'm the main character in a Studio Ghibli movie.  

I am finishing up my final year of studies at The Author Conservatory where I will graduate with a certificate in Creative Writing + Publishing and a certificate in Business + Entrepreneurship! ​
