Stories have always felt like home.

Kim Castelluccio is a writer based in Austin, Texas who focuses on coming-of-age fiction centered on identity, transformation, and the complicated process of growing into yourself. Drawing inspiration from the quirks of life and from emotional turning points, Kim’s work explores the moments that shape who we become.

When not writing fiction, Kim is a digital marketing manager with over 10 years of experience in paid media where she builds campaigns that blend strategy and storytelling. She also enjoys practicing ballet, volunteering in her community, and playing The Sims - which she still considers one of the greatest storytelling tools ever created.

I always find it too short.”
