Recorded live at When Words Collide 2025, this heartwarming and hilarious episode features Kelly Siskind, a romance author whose creative path winds from visual arts to cheese mongering to bestselling romantic comedies. From her early days in Toronto to running a cheese shop in Collingwood, Ontario, Kelly’s story is as unpredictable and charming, just like her novels.
We explore how she channels her artistic eye and entrepreneurial spirit into storytelling, striking the perfect balance between humour, heart, and heat. Kelly opens up about her experiences in the hybrid publishing world, the art of writing authentic, emotionally resonant romance, and the importance of perseverance in a creative career.
