E. Rachael Hardcastle

Rachael Hardcastle is an Amazon international #1 bestselling author from the UK. She writes mostly fantasy and adventure books for young adults and teens.​

Rachael believes in entertaining readers by offering them a temporary escape from reality. Her stories are fun, fast-paced and addictive—the ideal vacation companion. Her relatable characters embark on meaningful journeys, get into tons of trouble, but overall discover the depths of what it is to be human. Through her emotive novellas, Rachael hopes to encourage you to look within; to find your story.

Rachael knows that through writing, we face our darkest fears, explore infinite new worlds, and realise our true purpose. Creative writing helps us to understand what that purpose is.

​​Since starting her self-publishing experience in 2010, Rachael has worked with many individuals to help make their dreams of publishing a book reality, including school children! Her imprint, Curious Cat Books, has been responsible for producing gorgeous children's books, memoirs and more since 2017.

But Rachael wants you to tell your story; she delivers talks and workshops and visits communities to share invaluable advice and experience, inspiring you to write and journal your way to a memoir, poem, or even a full-length novel too.​
