Callie Fowler is a fantasy and romance author, penning stories for readers who spent their childhoods irrationally angry about how quickly the heroine fell in love with Prince Charming. Her stories center fierce, emotionally complex heroines navigating power, desire, and survival in worlds that rarely make room for softness.

A former nonprofit communications professional, she now writes fiction, not facts. Today, Callie is an emergency nurse, where she witnesses the messy and raw parts of humanity—an experience that deeply informs the characters she brings to life on the page. She’s also a graduate student, completing her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in fiction writing and publishing at Emerson College. Callie also holds a B.A. in journalism from the University of Oregon.

She lives in Oregon with her husband and a household of thoroughly spoiled animals. When she’s not writing, you can typically find Callie out for a walk, curled up with a good book, or exploring the Pacific Northwest—always with an iced coffee in hand. She also helps other writers bring their stories to life as a freelance editor.

WITH BALM AND BLADE, Callie’s debut novel, is on submission now. Follow along with her bookish, caffeine-soaked days on Instagram. Callie is represented by Alex Gehringer at The Bright Agency. 

She is a proud member of the Authors Guild and a participant in the Human Authored project.
