L.S. Franco

L.S. Franco is a Best-Selling Author, Literary Award Winner, and proud member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA). She is also a Friends of Worldcon member, supporting the global sci-fi and fantasy community through its most iconic convention.

As a Chief of Strategy, Franco brings sharp structural thinking and visionary planning to her storytelling—crafting intricate plots, complex systems of magic and governance, and expansive multiverse timelines that unfold with purpose and precision.

Franco is known for crafting cinematic, character-driven fantasy set in richly layered multiverses, where magic isn’t just power—it’s system, consequence, and philosophy. Her storytelling blends fast-paced, emotionally raw scenes with a strategic, world-spanning structure that challenges the mind and stirs the soul. Often described as systemic fantasy, her work tackles spiritual warfare, societal collapse, and moral reckoning, all while anchoring the reader in deeply human (and often heartbreaking) character arcs. Her signature style weaves together visual spectacle, intellectual depth, and emotional weight—creating stories that don’t just entertain, but transform.

Born in Niterói, Brazil, she was raised on classic tales, world folklore, and mythology. Her decades as a tabletop RPG game master refined her instinct for improvisation, immersive worldbuilding, and multi-perspective narratives. Her love for psychotherapy and constant study of human behavior breathe emotional depth and psychological realism into her characters.

Now based in the United States, Franco writes with a purpose: to craft stories that linger. Written for her son but meant for all readers, she believes imagination isn’t an escape—it’s a compass. One that can light the way through even the darkest paths.

💌 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).

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.)

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Because LS Franco doesn’t write books. She builds worlds that whisper back.
    And once you enter… good luck walking away.
