Career
Kelly Sue DeConnick's first published comic book story was a five-page text story published in CSI: Crime Scene Investigations – Dominos #5 (Dec. 2004). She wrote the Osborn limited series in 2011 which was drawn by Emma Ríos.
She was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Writer in 2014 for her Pretty Deadly series. In response to the announcement of a Captain Marvel movie, DeConnick said "I feel so proud of her, like Carol is this person who lives in my head, and 'look what you did, girl!'" and "It feels like a friend just got a promotion."
Personal life
Kelly Sue DeConnick was raised on various United States Air Force bases and first became interested in comic books and feminism due to her mother. DeConnick is married to fellow comic book writer Matt Fraction with whom she has two children, Henry Leo and Tallulah Louise. She has stated that she is a recovering alcoholic, with sixteen years of sobriety as of May 2016.
DeConnick was to be a guest at the Dundrum International Comics Expo in 2012. An associated Irish comic news site published a report which referred to her only in relation to her partner. This became the subject of an internet meme, largely on Twitter, with fans and celebrities proclaiming they were "not the wife of Matt Fraction". Following the attention, the website amended their listings.
At a 2013 convention panel, she stated that "I am willing to make people uncomfortable so that my daughter doesn’t have to!" Following up in an interview the following year, she explained "I don't think it's a goal to make other people uncomfortable. It's something I'm willing to do. I do purposefully try to push myself out of my comfort zone. Which is fairly cliché, but one of those clichés that got there for a reason."
