​​​Hi. I'm CJ Harter.

I'm from the great city of Manchester, UK and still live close to it. I’ve dissected human bodies in Sheffield, shushed library-users in Wigan, shared poetry in Liverpool, organised bedbaths in Salford. Now I help folk connect with their creativity through writing, and I support fellow authors with editing and proofreading services. I have a degree in Literature and Philosophy, fifteen years of fiction-editing experience and twenty years of experience in delivering adult education. I’m mother to two adults, wife to one and slave to two tiny dogs.

​My first novel, psychological suspense Rowan's Well, won a coveted Chill With A Book Readers’ Award, was shortlisted in the Words With Jam First Page 2017 Competition and garners fabulous 5 star reviews. Click Books & Reviews in the menu to find out more about it.
​
Psychological suspense Fitful Head: A Ghost Story won second prize in Liverpool Writing On The Wall Festival’s Pulp Idol 2017 contest and came eleventh out of 3,112 international entries to the recent UK-NWC competition . It's now receiving praise from readers. Click Books & Reviews in the menu for more on Fitful Head: A Ghost Story .

I love telling stories, creating characters who'll make you laugh and cry, tales to make you gasp and think. My love of writing flows from my passion for reading - the chance to immerse myself in other lives, other worlds. You know that feeling, right? When I'm reading, my day-to-day life recedes, and I can live those other people's lives, see through different eyes, travel the world and sometimes off it, maybe even fall in love a little, and return home when I'm ready, feeling I've really been away.

​I hope you'll find things here to transport you, to nurture your love of reading and support you in your writing.

I love to hear from my readers, students and editing clients. I want to know what you think of my novels, my courses and my editing service.

​So start exploring and get in touch!

Here's an interview I did with Mary Clinton before Fitful Head: A Ghost Story was published. We chatted about Rowan's Well, author names, genre and what I'm writing now.
Sound/video synch isn't great, I confess, so look away, grab a coffee and treat it like radio!
​Thanks to Mary and to Liverpool FACT.
