Cassidy Ellis Salter


Cassidy (they/them) is the author of two novels for younger readers, THE BONE SNATCHER and WHERE THE WOODS END (published as Charlotte Salter). They are currently working on a dark fantasy trilogy which is heavy on bones, sarcasm, and intelligent people making noticeably unintelligent decisions.

Cassidy graduated from the University of Warwick with a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing in 2012 and an MA in Writing in 2015. After stints in a digital agency and as a freelance copywriter, they now work in marketing at the same time as writing books. When they’re not busy writing about bones and queer power struggles they can be found roller skating, performing as their very occasional drag king persona, or mudlarking in the Thames. One day they will find a way to do all three at once.

      ‘Absolutely perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth, THESE SHATTERED SPIRES pulses with the weird and wonderful macabre. Salter weaves a ragtag crew of lovable misfits with uniquely grim world-building that is impossible to forget. Witty, diverse characters and tongue-in-cheek humor makes this gothic YA fantasy both upbeat and chill inducing. I fear I’ll never look at nuns the same way again!’Catelyn Wilson
