In 1987, he studied for a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing at Louisiana State University. After completing in 1989 he joined the English Department at Augusta University, where he is Professor Emeritus of English & Creative Writing.

When Kellman returned to Barbados, he took an English undergraduate degree at the University of the West Indies and published two poetry chapbooks, In Depths of Burning Light (1982) and The Broken Sun (1984), which drew praise from Kamau Brathwaite, among others. He worked as a newspaper reporter, an arts and literature review columnist, and in public relations (first at the Central Bank of Barbados and then at the National Cultural Foundation), before immigrating to the U.S. in 1987. His experiences at the Central Bank provided inspiration for his first novel The Coral Rooms (1994).
