Astera Charish

ABOUTquote
Astera Charish, developed her passion for writing when she was 12 years old. She started writing her fist draft in her notebook, instead of taking down notes. She is a certified book junkie, a Potterhead and a CoHort at that. She tends to space out as her way of thinking for plots and story ideas. She takes inspiration from her students, making her a teen-fiction author but she also wants to try writing in the new adult genre. Charish earned her degree in Education in 2017 and is currently teaching in a public school in her home province, Negros Occidental. She’s easy to please, a little bit weird, nice, yet stubborn. To complete her personality cake, she is very sentimental. Other than writing stories, Charish loves long travel, stargazing, EXO, sound of the waves, baking and collecting pens.
