Casper is a writer from Naarm/Melbourne. Her debut novel Low Tide is set for publication by Penguin Random House in early 2027. Her work has appeared in Underdog: #LoveOzYA Short Stories (ed. Tobias Madden) and Vox Populi (Bowen Street Press). She is a 2026 judge for the Aurealis Awards. She holds a Master of Creative Writing, Publishing, and Editing from the University of Melbourne, where her debut novel was developed as her advanced writing project and awarded first-class honours.

Her writing is driven by a desire to evoke the aching, gravitational pull of adolescence–that dense, inarticulate longing for something more. Her fiction is visceral, atmospheric, and deeply tied to place.

She’s obsessed with writing about/for teenagers because she thinks they’re the most emotionally honest people on the planet and her work captures their fragility, intensity and complexity with lyricism, dark humour, and a softness for living in grey areas.

She teaches trauma-informed yoga and is fascinated by how the body becomes a site of both tension and transformation—a theme that echoes throughout her work. Casper approaches movement and self-development the same way she approaches story: with curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to push into discomfort.
