☕ FOR AUTHORS — THE LATTE LAB & LIBRARY

Where stories meet strategy (and the coffee never runs out).

Writing is hard enough. Publishing shouldn't make it harder.

I'm Brittany Kelley—author, educator, and the slightly over-caffeinated friend who will help you untangle the business side of your creative life.

I've built a multi–six-figure hybrid career across traditional, indie, and audio publishing, and I've mentored authors through programs like Author Mentor Match and Kiss Pitch. I've seen how this industry works from every angle—and I'm here to help you make it work for you.

📚 The Latte Lab & Library

The Latte Lab & Library is my cozy digital campus for authors.
It's a calm, bookish space where we talk about sustainability, boundaries, business strategy, and creative joy—without hustle culture or guilt.

Inside, you'll find:

  • Free guides & checklists (real tools, no fluff)
  • Monthly author Q&As
  • Workshops on publishing systems & creative business
  • A free community hub: The Reading Room

🌈 The Experimental Wing (Creative Chaos Lives Here)

Business is only half the story.

Inside The Latte Lab, there's also an Experimental Wing—where we get messy and creative. It's home to my Chaos Plotting Method, a pastel explosion of craft and structure that helps writers harness their creativity instead of fighting it.

Whether you're outlining a trilogy or managing multiple projects, these systems bring clarity to the chaos (and look pretty doing it).

🪴 About Brittany

Brittany Kelley built her publishing career the old-fashioned way—through equal parts stubbornness, spreadsheets, and caffeine-fueled all-nighter writing sessions.

She's signed multiple traditional and audio deals, runs a multi–six-figure indie publishing arm, and is represented by one of the best agents in the business. She's mentored emerging authors through Author Mentor Match and Kiss Pitch, and now teaches creative business systems that actually work (and occasionally involve caffeine).

When she's not writing or teaching, Brittany can usually be found tinkering with a new workflow, talking someone out of a predatory contract, or pretending her fifth latte counts as hydration.

Education without exploitation.
Guidance without guilt.
Business with boundaries.
