Meet Carrie Mae

Author | Founder | ARC Reader


Carrie Mae is the author of A Veil of Ash and Gold and the founder of Bookish Blooms.

Her own journey as an author is what inspired her to create Bookish Blooms. She understands the passion, vulnerability and sheer amount of work that goes into bringing an independent book into the world, and wanted to create a space where emerging authors could be discovered, celebrated and connected with new readers.

Alongside writing and running Bookish Blooms, Carrie is a member of the Australian Society of Authors.

She believes every author deserves a chance to be discovered, and every reader deserves the chance to find a story that stays with them. 🌸📚
