Hi! I’m Natalie Murray.
I am a new writer finding my way in the world of children’s literature.
After years of working in project management and process improvement, I decided to try something completely different: writing stories for young readers. My work often explores themes of belonging, identity, and the unexpected connections that form between individuals who might not otherwise cross paths.
When I’m not attempting to wrangle story ideas onto the page, you’ll probably find me hiking a desert trail, planning my next trip, or secretly scrolling real estate listings in Scotland in search of my dream home.
I’m documenting my real-time attempt to become a published children’s author starting completely from scratch on my substack @bunnyandquail. Follow along for weekly posts of lessons learned, detours, and the occasional SPLAT, BONK, or KERFLUFFLE.
