Sara Raasch is a successful American author, particularly known for her young adult, fantasy, fiction, and nonfiction novels. Raasch has gained significant recognition as her books have made it to the New York Times best-seller list. She is most famous for writing the Snow Like Ashes trilogy series and is currently working on a new fantasy series, both of which are published by Balzer & Bray/ Harper Collins publishers. Raasch's passion for books and writing began at a very young age of five when she would sell her hand-drawn picture books at her friends' lemonade stands.
Raasch's writing career has been shaped by her lifelong enthusiasm for written words. As a child, she would tag along with her friends to sell her hand-drawn picture books, which reflected her early interest in bookish things. As she grew older, this interest transformed into a habit, and Raasch found herself driven to extreme measures by her passion for writing. Despite her friends' concerns about her drawing skills, Raasch's enthusiasm for the written word has remained unshaken.
Raasch's published works include the popular Snow Like Ashes trilogy, the fantasy duology Stream Raiders, and the duology Set Fire to the Gods, which she cowrote with Kristen Simmons. Her upcoming book, Night of the Witch, is a cowritten work with Beth Revis and is set to be published by Sourcebooks Fall 2023. Although Raasch's hand-drawn pictures do not feature in any of her books, her enthusiasm for the written word is evident in her captivating storytelling and imaginative narratives.
