About

Greetings from Central Kansas. I’m a community college English professor, parent, and children’s author seeking agent representation for my middle-grade novels and lyrical, heartfelt picture books. I’m excited to announce that my debut picture book SCRAPPERS (illustrated by Briony Dixon) will be published in 2027 (The Little Press). When I’m not writing, reading, or teaching, I’m probably outside with an animal friend or with garden tools in hand. Feel free to contact me at kellyclasenwriter@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to see more of my work. Thank you for visiting my site!
