Harshita Jerath loves writing stories for children. Born and raised in India, she spent much of her childhood scribbling in her secret journal, watching stray cows wander, reading books under the guava tree, and munching apples while daydreaming. During her elementary school days, she learned big words from her older siblings and enjoyed flaunting the vocabulary. Such as, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” is a fun way to say ‘wonderful’-(From the Mary Poppins movie)
Harshita’s parents raised her to be a medical doctor – renowned and famous- like them. To their dismay, Harshita did not have the guts to dissect the frogs and mice, so she became a Healthcare Business Analyst. After years in the corporate landscape, she now pursues her long-time passion for writing.
Harshita shares her views about everyday life on her blog, www.ipenlife.com. Fluent in both Hindi and English, she also writes a children’s story column for a lifestyle magazine in India. And if you’re wondering how to pronounce her name, click below.
Her stories inspire young readers to dream big, stay curious, and take pride in their roots. She enjoys visiting schools to spark conversations about storytelling, creativity, and big ideas.
When she is not writing, you’ll find Harshita conducting story-time sessions and watching spectacular Arizona sunsets with her family. Harshita is represented by Stefanie Molina of Looking Glass Literary & Media.
