Nicole Spencer-Skillen (she/her)

📍 From Lancashire, currently sipping matcha in South Yorkshire.
📚 Writer of sapphic romance, dreamer of big dreams.

Nicole is a writer, basketball fanatic, crossword enthusiast, and proud wife of 7 years. Originally from Lancashire, she now lives in South Yorkshire with her incredible wife and their three chaos-loving dogs.

For the past five years Nicole has been crafting queer novels. When not glued to her laptop with a cup of matcha in hand, you’ll probably find her hopping on a plane, watching / playing basketball, or dreaming up her next big story idea from the comfort of the sofa . . . or coffee shop.

Sapphic romance is more than a genre for Nicole—it’s a mission. Growing up, she didn’t see herself in the pages she read. The world was full of heterosexual love stories (some of which she adored), but none quite hit home. So now she writes the stories she wishes she’d had: honest, modern, relatable tales where queer women can finally see themselves as the main character.

Her goal? To create an escape, a spark, or even just a little moment of connection for anyone who picks up one of her books.

A few fun facts:
🗽 If Nicole could live anywhere, it’d be New York City—because why not dream big?
