Nichole Counts

A Kansas City native, Nichole is a lifelong writer whose love for words began with poetry. Having written poetry her entire life, she developed a deep appreciation for emotional storytelling, lyrical expression, and raw honesty—elements that continue to shape her work across multiple creative mediums.

In addition to fiction, Nichole is also a songwriter, weaving emotion and storytelling into music with the same depth and vulnerability found in her writing. Her creative voice is inspired by authors Amo Jones, Casey L. Bond, and Freida McFadden, influencing her passion for complex characters, emotional tension, and stories that explore love, loss, and redemption.

Her first published book, The Voice of a Generation, marked her official debut as an author, where she won the Emily Dickinson Award for her work. Followed by The Prettiest Dead Girl, further solidifying her distinctive, emotionally driven voice. She also had a soft-opening start on Wattpad, where she began sharing her work and connecting with readers who encouraged her journey into publishing.

Nichole believes the most powerful stories—whether written or sung—are the ones that make people feel deeply and see pieces of themselves within the art.
