Aspen leaves in fall

Author Bio

Mara Harrow is a queer writer whose work explores the sacred wild, the quiet edges of myth, and the lives shaped by liminal spaces. She draws on years of chaplaincy to write stories of resilience, tenderness, and transformation.


My Approach

I write queer, contemplative fiction rooted in wilderness, myth, and the liminal spaces where people are transformed. My work honors resilience, compassion, and the sacred wild in every threshold we cross.

Courageous Healing

My stories honor the slow, brave work of tending wounds — personal, communal, generational — with compassion and emotional truth.

Living Worlds

Landscapes in my fiction breathe, watch, and shape the people who move through them. The wild is never background; it’s a presence.

Transformative Places

My characters cross thresholds — literal and metaphorical — and are changed by the liminal spaces they inhabit.

Queer Liminality

Queerness in my work is sacred, wild, and woven into the fabric of the world. It’s belonging found in the in‑between.
