Helping families create a culture of literature one classic book at a time

Children’s fantasy and adventure author, blogger and motivational speaker

Only 28% of 9-year-olds say they love reading. (Scholastic)

We've got a serious literature problem on our hands.

I help families build a culture of literature…

But how do you get an uninterested middle-grade student excited about reading?

How do you know which books are capable of enriching your child’s mind and imagination?

And where do you find inspiration for tech-free learning and play?

You know reading is one of the best ways to help them develop personally and academically.

You want your child to succeed in school and life. 

Learn More About Katie

I’ve been a professional writer for over a decade, and I believe we desperately need stories that teach children how to be courageous and brave. After seeing the lack of plot-driven stories and rich, real characters available for young adults, I knew I wanted to improve the selection as a children's fantasy and adventure author.

I’m currently penning an original children’s book series. I also share regular blog posts with imaginative – yet practical – inspiration for parents and educators.

I love working with parents, teachers, home school communities, and schools that recognize and appreciate the role of high-quality literature in educating and nurturing our students. It’s an honor to speak to parent groups and other organizations about encouraging a love and appreciation for reading, even in the most technology-obsessed children.

When I’m not writing, speaking, or losing myself in a good book, you can find me spending time outdoors with my husband, hosting beautiful tea parties for my girlfriends, or tending to my vegetable and flower gardens.

DEVELOP A CULTURE OF LITERATURE:

My Philosophy on Literature

Brooke Z. M.D., wife and mother

"Katie is a trusted and phenomenal author who can be relied on to provide exciting stories with wonderful messages. Katie's writing has been and will continue to be instrumental in establishing a love for reading and literature in our home."

"As a mom and physician, I'm selective and intentional about what my children are exposed to."

Susan G., mother and grandmother

"Hands-down, the most enjoyable thing I have done with all my children and grandchildren is to read with them — at naptime or bedtime. There is nothing like holding a book in your hands and sharing an adventure with them. Katie's focus on this passion makes me happy."

"I am so thrilled that Katie Mohar shares this passion by writing her blog and writing new classics for kids."

"I've followed Katie's writing for many years and trust her to bring joy into our home."

 "I am so excited to read the new children's book from Katie Mohar. I have two kids and I love to read educational and positive books."

Idevanira S., mother of two

I created a simple 3-step test to help you quickly and easily decide whether a book is right for your middle schooler. When you’re more selective with your choices, your child will be more engaged and interested in reading!
