I’m Charis Rae. I write fiction that aims to empower young readers to face life’s challenges with courage and hope.
It’s my opinion that we have exhausted classic stories for kids that balance maturity and innocence well; the new books we’ve found are too heavy or tiptoe around hard subjects.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a middle grade author and graduate of The Author Conservatory, a program that equips writers with the craft and business skills needed for a sustainable writing career. Growing up homeschooled and surrounded by fantastic literature, I developed a deep love for children’s stories that inspire courage and hope.
You can expect my books to address the challenges kids are going through so they can face them with courage—while also imparting hope so they don’t grow up too fast.
