Sylvie Cathrall writes stories of hope and healing with healthy doses of wonder and whimsy. She holds a graduate degree in odd Victorian art and has handled more than a few nineteenth-century letters (with great care). Sylvie married her former pen pal and lives in the mountains, where she dresses impractically and dreams of the sea.

Sylvie Cathrall recommends
The Bookshop Below (2025)
Georgia Summers
"Georgia Summers' unique literary magic system (and exceptional literary romance!) bewitched me. The Bookshop Below is lavish, beguiling, and altogether the sort of enchanted book you'd expect to find in the shadowy corner of a curious shop."
Higher Magic (2025)
Courtney Floyd
"Higher Magic is enchanting, affirming, and an astonishingly realistic representation of my own experience in grad school (which is a delightful thing to say about a book that also features a most loquacious narration skull). Courtney Floyd's intelligent, inclusive novel captures the challenges of navigating academia as a disabled person...while ultimately celebrating the bravery of living and learning in spite of an oppressive system."
Greenteeth (2025)
Molly O'Neill
"Sharp yet sweet, Greenteeth is a heartening folkloric adventure with hidden depths aplenty. I found Jenny strikingly relatable - as a parent, as a recluse, and as someone constantly perplexed by what this whole 'being human' thing entails."
