Maelana Nightingale is an independent romance and romantasy author and the founder of Fated Love Publishing.

After building her own publishing career from the ground up, Maelana discovered that being an indie author means learning to do considerably more than write books. From editing and formatting to production, marketing, launches, and reader engagement, she's spent years navigating the creative and practical sides of bringing stories from manuscript to bookshelf.

Her books are known for complex characters, unconventional relationships, found family, immersive worlds, and stories that aren't particularly interested in coloring inside the lines.

Fated Love Publishing grew from that same philosophy: authors should be able to tell the stories they want to tell, retain ownership of their work, and have access to knowledgeable support when they don't want to do every damn part of publishing alone.

When she isn't writing, publishing, or helping another author untangle a manuscript, Maelana can usually be found planning another book she absolutely does not have time to write.
