Kelsey McKinney, a New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling reporter and writer, has built a diverse portfolio of work across various platforms. McKinney made her debut in literature with "God Spare the Girls," published in the summer of 2021. In addition to her novel, she has proven her prowess in non-fiction writing with her first essay collection "You Didn’t Hear This From Me," published by Grand Central Publishing in February 2025.
