Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who are you?
A: I’m Kyle Felizardo, a writer and filmmaker who has been creating stories for over a decade. I studied film and started out thinking primarily in terms of movies, but writing gradually became the center of what I do. These days, I move between novels and screenplays depending on what best fits the story.
Q: What do you write?
A: I tend to gravitate toward genre stories with strong characters at the center. Fantasy is a big part of my work, but I also write horror, science fiction, romance, drama, and stories that sit somewhere between all of them. I care less about fitting into a single genre than I do about making the world and the people inside it feel convincing.
Q: What is Nothing for the Morrow?
A: Nothing for the Morrow is my epic fantasy series set in the world of Pelias. It follows a large cast whose lives gradually become tangled in war, politics, family, love, faith, and the larger forces reshaping their world. At its core, though, it is about people.
Q: Do I need to read your books in order?
A: For Nothing for the Morrow, yes. The series is one continuing story, so it is best experienced from the beginning, so starting with Book One: Calamity. Another series that I recommend reading in the intended order is Palindrome, as it allows the reader to grow and experience the story alongside the characters. Other projects and stories on this site are generally standalone unless otherwise noted.
Q: What inspired your writing?
A: My influences come from a fairly chaotic shelf. I grew up loving film, television, games, and literature, so my work tends to pull from several traditions at once rather than trying to imitate one particular source. I’m especially interested in stories where fantastical or heightened worlds still feel inhabited by believable people with ordinary fears, grudges, desires, loyalties, and contradictions. For example, Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire had a huge influence on how I think about fantasy worlds, especially when it comes to politics and consequences. Another example is Scott Pilgrim, which showed me how much personality and emotion you can fit into something that is also weird, funny, stylish, and completely unafraid of itself. Other stories like Re:Zero and Vinland Saga have especially influenced how I approach suffering, character growth, violence, and the consequences people carry with them.
Q: Why are so many of your projects different from one another?
A: Because I tend to get bored doing the same thing repeatedly. One project might be epic fantasy. The next might be analog horror, a cyberpunk thriller, or a dark comedy about an energy drink destroying someone’s life. The genre changes, but there are usually familiar threads underneath.
Q: Do you only write books?
A: No. Screenwriting and filmmaking are a major part of my work as well. I write feature films, pilots, shorts, and limited-series concepts alongside my fiction. I like novels because they let me live inside a character’s thoughts and build a world with very few limits. Screenwriting forces a different kind of discipline. Everything has to live through action, dialogue, pacing, and what an audience can actually see or hear. Working in both has made me better at each.
Q: Are any of your screenplays available to read?
A: Some are. Selected projects on the site include links to screenplay or portfolio copies when a public version is available. Others may be marked as in development if the current material is still being revised, expanded, or prepared for public release.
Q: Would you want your books to be adapted for film or television?
A: Absolutely. My background in filmmaking has always affected the way I imagine everything that I write, so adaptation is something I’m very interested in. At the same time, I would want any adaptation to preserve the emotional core, characters, and identity of the original story rather than simply reproducing the plot beat for beat.
Q: Do all of your projects take place in the same universe?
A: Most of them exist in their own worlds. You may notice similar themes or ideas showing up across different projects, but that is more about the things I am interested in as a writer than some giant hidden cinematic universe. Probably.
Q: Why do you revisit or rewrite older projects?
A: Because finishing a story does not always mean I’m finished learning from it. As I grow as a writer, I sometimes return to older work when I believe the underlying story deserves a stronger rendition. I would rather meaningfully rebuild something I still believe in than leave it frozen simply because an earlier draft already exists.
Q: Where can I keep up with what you’re working on?
A: The best place is this website, along with my social media platforms, where I share updates on books, scripts, filmmaking, works in progress, events, behind-the-scenes material, and whatever new world has taken over my desk that week.
Q: Can I contact you about a collaboration or professional opportunity?
A: Absolutely. If you are reaching out about filmmaking, publishing, adaptation, interviews, creative collaboration, or another professional opportunity, you can use the contact page on this site. A little context in the message always helps.
