Savannah Carlisle writes heartwarming romance novels with idyllic beach settings. Her stories transport readers to fun and quirky small towns where friends feel like family. Savannah jokes that she's living her own Hallmark movie because she's a former big city corporate attorney who now lives in a small beach town writing romance novels. Her debut novel, The Library of Second Chances, released in May 2024. Her latest release, The Summer of Starting Over, was published April 1, 2025. When she isn't busy at her laptop writing her next romance book, Savannah is a sports business reporter and freelance writer who writes under her legal name, Kristi Dosh. She’s been a contributor to Forbes for more than a decade, and previously served as ESPN’s sports business reporter. Her freelance writing portfolio includes Glamour, Men’s Health, Woman’s Day, The Washington Post, AARP, POPSUGAR and more. Her latest nonfiction book, The Athlete's NIL Playbook: The Complete Guide to Owning and Profiting from Your Name, Image, and Likeness, is out July 2, 2025.
