RB Kelly
sci-fi author and creative writing mentor
Hi! I'm Rachael.
I’m a Clarke Award-shortlisted sci-fi author and creative writing mentor from Northern Ireland. I’ve been writing since I was old enough to pick up a pen, published since 2003, and helping emerging authors find their creative path since 2015. If you could do with a bit of friendly guidance on your writing journey, click below to get in touch – I’d love to help.
Praise for Edge of Heaven
"Punchy and riveting as required, but also mindful that science fiction's first duty is to weave alternative realities in which readers can blissfully lose themselves."
Ed Power
Irish Times
"If you liked Blade Runner, that noir flavour of science fiction, then this is the one for you."
Tom Hunter
Director of the arthur c clarke award
"RB Kelly is a thrilling new talent in SFF. Her writing is lyrical, passionate, honest, her science-fictional worlds unique and deeply thought-through. All the great stories are love stories, and this is a love story like none you have read before."

Hugo, Locus & BSFA award-winning author
