Meet the Author Behind NextGen Reads

Christie Mathew writes stories that fill hearts, spark imaginations, and gently remind readers that kindness never goes out of style. A lifelong lover of literature, poetry, and theater, Christie crafts warm, funny, and deeply human tales for children and teens — stories that teach without preaching, and feel like conversations with a friend.

A creative spirit through and through, Christie finds joy in every messy, magical part of writing — from the first spark of an idea to the late-night editing sessions powered by too much coffee and not enough sleep. Her stories often carry the same values she lives by: respect, honesty, forgiveness, and compassion. Whether she’s exploring friendship, family, or the tiny choices that change everything, her goal is always the same — to help young readers see the good in themselves and others.

Outside the page, Christie pours her heart into helping people and supporting charitable causes. She believes stories can be a force for healing — and she writes with that same purpose.

A devoted dog lover, Christie insists life is better with a wagging tail (and most of her stories agree). When she’s not writing, she’s balancing life as a working mom. Her two teenage daughters are her toughest critics, sharpest editors, and biggest cheerleaders — keeping her characters funny, real, and completely teen-approved.
