What Is Penrose Editorial?

Hi, I’m Kalea Ellison, the founder of Penrose Editorial!

I started Penrose because I’ve been exactly where you are—passionate about writing, yet unsure how to cross the gap between an idea and a finished book. Over the years, I’ve worked with many authors across many genres—Christian living, memoir, fiction, children’s literature, and more—and I’ve seen firsthand how clarity, encouragement, and accountability can transform the writing process.

I’m a multi-published author myself and a coach who helps writers find both discipline and delight in their work. My approach blends detailed editorial expertise with biblical mindset coaching, making sure you’re equipped not just to finish a book but to thrive as an author for years to come.

A few fun facts: I’m a lifelong lover of fantasy worlds (ask me about Brandon Sanderson over coffee and I’ll talk your ear off), a color-coded-planner enthusiast, and a firm believer that matcha lattes fuel creativity. When I’m not editing or coaching, you’ll probably find me ears-deep in an audiobook, dreaming up a new story, or cheering on other writers as they take brave steps toward their goals.
