About Kimberley Belton
Making the world a better place:
one book at a time.
I invite you to join me on my journey as I promote inclusion in fiction and become a published author.
YA Fiction
The Summer I Summoned a Unicorn
Llewie doesn't want friends; not Callie; not even a unicorn; especially not a unicorn.
The Unwriting of Axel Smi-Schreiber
Unwritten from his story and banished to processing with unwanted characters from every book, Axel refuses to accept his fate.
About my books
My diverse characters are heroes in real world stories with a fantastical twist.

Middle Grade Fiction
The Zombies of Menzies Primary
There's a lot of important stuff in our book, like how to chuck buckets on zombies' heads, how soccer goals are you-beaut for shoveling 'em down hallways with, and how gym mats and gaffer tape'll immobilise a zombie like nobody's business.
There's a Demon in the Maintenance Cupboard and it Ate Alice McKenzie
Morgan doesn't even like Alice, and it's probably too late to save her, given the demon ate her and everything.
Werekids: Flight
Can Pip find out who he is as a boy before his pelican self takes over forever?
About inclusion
I am driven to write books in which characters with neurodiversity, a disability, or rainbow families are right in the middle of the action.
My son Ollie has cerebral palsy and climbs mountains (in Mario Costume).
No one should sit on the sidelines.
Did you know that on average 10% of students in every classroom are neurodiverse or have a disability? Including them in a cast of characters is essential for every reader.
If you think every child has a right to see themselves battling zombies and monsters on the pages of my books, I invite you to sign up to my free newsletter.
I like to imagine that Pip from Werekids: Flight is among the pelicans in the banner photograph. It was taken for me by one of my children, as pelicans flew over our house and I typed the final words of the story.
