About Kelsey

Kelsey Rhodes (she/her) is a grade-A weirdo who likes to share her kaleidoscope view of the world and living with whoever will give her the time. Running around with four autoimmune diseases is tiring, but slowing down allows her a different perspective on what seems “normal” to the rest of us.

Kelsey lives in Kansas City, Missouri with her dog, cat, and chickens on a gay-hobby farm.

Kelsey studied domestic public health and wellness policy at University of Michigan in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. She then got married to her best friend, realized she was gay, got divorced, and moved from San Diego to the Midwest to start again. She is currently the Communications Director at Physicians for Reproductive Health where she helps 500 abortion providers around the country tell their stories.

Kelsey is represented by Jessica Felleman at Jennifer Lyons Literary Agency.
