Kelley was an award-winning writer of screenplays for television and film, as well as a novelist and editor. After serving in the U.S. Air Force from 1947 to 1950, he attended Villanova University for three years, studying for the priesthood. However, he then decided to transfer to Brown University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1955 and going on to receive a master's degree in Irish literature from Harvard University two years later. In 1957 Kelley took a job as an editor for the publisher Doubleday in New York City, where he stayed until 1961. He also worked from 1961 to 1962 as an editor for McGraw-Hill Books. By the late 1950s, however, Kelley was already finding success as an author, and his first novel, Gemini, became a best seller after it was published in 1959. While continuing to pen novels such as The God Hunters (1964), in the 1960s Kelley began writing for television) <https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/kelley-william-1929-2003>
