About Cami Ellis

Cami Ellis

Cami Ellis writes romance fiction about people who take their time — who misread each other, argue in kitchens, walk in rain they didn't plan for, and eventually, carefully, find their way. Her stories unfold in chapters, released as they're finished, the way serialized fiction was always meant to work.

She is drawn to the specific ache of the slow burn: the almost-touch, the overheard sentence, the moment when two people realize the conversation they were having was actually about something else entirely. Her characters tend to be competent, a little guarded, and wrong about themselves in interesting ways.

Before writing fiction full-time, Cami spent years as a librarian, which is where she developed her firm opinions about cover design, her love of marginalia, and her belief that the best stories deserve careful readers.

She lives somewhere coastal, drinks too much tea, and is currently mid-chapter in something she refuses to summarize until it's done.

“I write the kind of love story I want to read slowly, in a house where it's raining.”

Serialized

Stories are released chapter by chapter, as they're written. You're reading in real time.

Slow Burn

The tension builds slowly. The payoff is worth it. Nothing is rushed.

Character-Led

The plot is really just two people figuring each other out. Everything else is weather.
