WHO IS L.S. FRANCO
WHO IS L.S. FRANCO
Best-selling and award-winning author L.S. Franco writes YA science fantasy and adult speculative fiction spanning magical realism, science fiction, and fantasy. While her primary focus is on older teen and adult audiences, she also pens select children’s books. She is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), and Friends of Worldcon, supporting the global sci-fi and fantasy community through its most iconic convention.
As a Chief of Strategy, Franco brings sharp structural and logical thinking and visionary planning to her storytelling. She is known for crafting cinematic, character-driven adventure set in richly layered multiverses, where magic is systemic and carries consequence. Her work is fast-paced, emotionally raw, and tackles topics like spiritual warfare, societal collapse, moral reckoning, soul purpose, among others, all while anchoring the reader in deeply human (and sometimes heartbreaking) character arcs. That’s her signature style: visual spectacle, intellectual depth, and emotional weight, entertaining her readers while making them reflect.
Originally from Brazil, she was raised on classic fiction tales, world folklore, and mythology. Her decades as a tabletop RPG game master refined her instinct for improvisation, immersive world building, and multi-perspective narratives, while her experience in acting sharpened her sense of dialogue and character presence. Her love for psychotherapy and constant study of human behavior breathe emotional depth and psychological realism into her characters. Now living in the United States, she continues to draw on both cultures to shape her storytelling.
Franco first began writing for her son. But what started as a personal project quickly grew into something more—a commitment to stories that entertain but also raise social and self-awareness, uphold values, and offer a poetic lens on existence. To her, imagination isn’t a way out—it’s a way through, helping us navigate both the world and ourselves.

Why You’ll Want to Read Anything LS Franco Writes—Even Her Thank You Notes
Why You’ll Want to Read Anything LS Franco Writes—Even Her Thank You Notes
From fantasy epics to grocery lists… she makes it hurt (in the best way).
Because even her commas carry tension.
LS Franco doesn’t just write. She strategizes every sentence like a general planning a war—and still makes you cry over it.Because her worldbuilding is so good, you’ll look at your phone and wonder which universe you’re in.
One minute you’re reading. Next thing you know, you're Googling “Dismay Bastion equity requirements” like it’s real. (And low-key hoping you’d qualify.)Because her characters aren’t just “well-written”—they’re therapy.
Liam, Ada, Bruno, Grace… they’re not fantasy tropes. They’re broken, brilliant, brave, and flawed in all the ways that make you feel seen.Because she doesn’t spoon-feed. She dares you to keep up.
Time paradoxes, color-frequency riddles, vibrational soul mechanics? This is fantasy for thinkers—and she trusts you to rise to the challenge.Because her villains are so nuanced, you’ll low-key start questioning your ex.
They’re not evil for the plot. They’re crafted from real human patterns, entitlement, pride, and corrupted purpose. (Some were written mid-meeting. It shows.)Because she doesn’t write plot twists. She sets traps.
You won’t see it coming—and when you do, you’ll flip back a chapter and go: Oh my God, it was right there.Because she turns a scene with a floating bed and laughing fairies into a full-on existential escape.
What other author could make a panic room feel like a holy experience?Because even her thank you notes probably contain foreshadowing.
“Thanks for being part of this journey.”
Translation: You’re definitely going to suffer. And love it.Because she blends folklore, philosophy, and multiverse warfare without losing the human pulse.
Her work isn’t just about magic. It’s about what it means to love, to lose, to fight, and to grow—when the prophecy’s already broken.Because LS Franco doesn’t write books. She builds worlds that whisper back.
And once you enter… good luck walking away.
