Kelsey B. Toney writes humorous and heartfelt stories about the hope that can exist even after we’ve made our most laughably bad decisions. An experienced public speaker, Kelsey has built a community around championing for mental health care, self-advocacy, and creativity. At various times in her life, Kelsey’s been a public school teacher, recording artist, and actress—all roles that supported her endless pursuit of connection through vulnerability, art, and empathy. Writing is oversharing, so it would seem she’s finally found her dream job. THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCE OF BLEEDING ON A TUESDAY, her debut from Random House Books for Young Readers, has given voice to her experience living with endometriosis and learning how to take up more space. Her work is fueled by obscenely early mornings and very strong coffee. Learn more about Kelsey on her website, on her podcast, in her newsletter, or online everywhere @kelseybtoney.
